After the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup against Bayern (2-0) during which he scored the first goal, Désiré Doué stopped in happy and serene mixed zones. And the scorer thanked his decisive passer, the “extraordinary” João Neves.
How to explain this victory:
“I think it is the state of mind of the team that is just great. In this kind of match, we need something other than technical quality, than playing very beautiful football. Sometimes, some games are fighting and tonight, we saw that it was also a fight on the field. We managed to do the job, we are very happy and we bring back the victory. »»
The atmosphere in the locker room after the match:
“Inevitably very happy with this victory. We are also really saddened compared to Musiala who comes out on injury, it is something that really saddened us in the locker room, we send all our support too because they are very complicated events and we want him to recover as best as possible. Donnarumma? We told him that we give him our support because it is never easy to be on these kinds of actions that end badly. But it's also part of football. We want everything going well for Jamal in his rehabilitation. »»
Arbitration:
“It's not a word to make the referee, he puts the boxes as he wants. It is he who whistles every time in the match but it is not my role to make the arbitration. »»
His first goal in competition, relief?
“No, not necessarily, because I try to help the team with each match. If I do not score, if I do not make a decisive pass, it will be in other aspects of the game. This afternoon, I was able to mark so I am very happy. I helped the team. We won. This is the main thing. »»
A PSG that never seems to doubt:
“We know what we have to do on the ground. We know that any situation, we can overturn it too. We trust us, confidence in our game plan, confidence in the coach too. So we try to make everything go well on the field. And even when there are difficult times, we keep confidence in us. We know that we can overthrow these trends. »»
The rest:
“This is our goal of going to win this trophy. What team desired in half? The team we are going to face, frankly, we don't take care of that. We will be ready for the semi-final and we are going to win this match. »»
L'Olcroyable João Neves:
“It is going very well with João but also with all the players on the field. We always try to give each other advice, to be at best in the field. João is a great player, what a match he still made today. In recovery, it was everywhere, in distribution too, it is he who passes me on goal. He is an extraordinary player. »»
Désiré Doué, the man of the big meetings?
“This is my goal to help the team, my goal to score also because I am an attacker so, I am very happy. »»
