Marie Antoinette Katoto, 25-year-old striker for the Paris Saint-Germain women's team, spoke to theAgence France Presse (AFP). She spoke of an atmosphere “ heavy ” and on the complicated start of the season Red and Blue. She spoke about her relationship with coach Fabrice Abriel and gave indications about her future.
It's real “We have to burst the abscess and say things to ourselves”
“It's heavy, the atmosphere is heavy, we have to burst the abscess and say things to ourselves. The season got off to a very bad start and with misunderstandings during this transfer window. You have to accept certain departures and move forward. We can't stay in this in-between: either we're all together and we're going to war together, or we keep crying and we're going to have a very long season.
It's real “He’s a good coach who knows football well”
The Abriel/Geyoro clash?
What happens between them is none of my business.
How are things going with Abriel?
I'm here to train and play. He is a good coach who knows football well, he is a former professional player, he knows what he wants to implement, he knows what he is doing.
Crazy « My decision is already made and it will not change”
The defeat in the Champions League against Juventus.
We were able to bounce back well, I'm very happy and proud, because it really wasn't easy to get back on track after this kind of failure which happened very early.
His future
My decision is already made and it will not change.
Are there negotiations with PSG?
Non
Towards a departure?
We'll see. »
The women's section of PSG does not exude good humor. For several years, nothing has been going well. The team loses its best players, there was the Kheira Hamraoui affair, results are declining, coaches come and go. The only thing left is a deleterious climate and Katoto's interview or Geyoro's tackle do not help to calm the situation.
We feel that this team is having trouble rebuilding itself, that something is not right. PSG leaders must make decisions, move forward and start to bring stability to this team.
Katoto will certainly leave PSG, even if she doesn't say it, we can almost understand that it will be her choice and that it is already confirmed. Let's hope this team gets back up and gets good results this season.
