After the logical defeat at Arsenal (0-2), PSG captain Marquinhos regretted the goals conceded on weak points in Paris but he also warned that his team had to do much more in the Champions League to score and get results.
What did Arsenal have that PSG didn’t have this evening?
“They took advantage of our weaknesses”
“It was a complicated start to the match for us, we couldn’t get out of their pressure. It took us a while to position ourselves well, to press well. We made mistakes that we paid for with the goal. I think they took advantage of our weaknesses, with two goals from crosses: a free kick and a cross to the far post. I think this match will help us improve for the future but we came here to have a good match and we didn’t succeed. It was complicated at the start of the game, a little better in the second half where we were more aggressive, we managed to play in their camp, which we had to do in the first half.
For the matches that follow, we have to go like that even away, we have to do what we know how to do. We are a team that plays on the ball, that likes to have possession, that tries to attract the opponents to open up spaces that we can take advantage of. We didn’t know how to do it at the start of the match and they closed the match in the first half with both goals scored. »
You talked about mistakes and weakness, is it a lack of athletic impact?
“All teams have strengths and weaknesses. We know that we work a lot on that, we always try to improve, we worked yesterday and the day before yesterday but a small mistake and that’s it… We suffered a goal. Above all, you have to know how to play the way you manage best. In the second half, we showed that we could do it, even away, even against big teams. But we have to do worse. We had the ball a lot but we lacked movement in space, being more aggressive, trying to score. We had the ball in the second half but very few chances. In the Champions League, our team must know that it must do much more than that. »
