Marginhos: Young people won t be satisfied and only win one Champions League championship, so do I at the age of 31

At 3:00 am on September 18, in the first round of the Champions League stage, Paris Saint-Germain will face Atlanta at home. Before the game, Paris defender Marginhos attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About the team's current status

-Sorry to be late, we need to recover from training and prepare for tomorrow's game. We now have more experience and have experienced many wonderful moments, and the Champions League is always full of passion and excitement. Sometimes, when the team is too calm, we need to inspire their fighting spirit; when the team is too excited, we need to calm them down. All players have experience from last season and everyone can stay calm in their own way and show their personality.

About the players' fighting spirit

- more motivated than others, this is the Paris Saint-Germain philosophy, we have no other choice, this is the coach's requirement. If a player doesn't give his all on the court, you'll see him staying on the bench for a while. It is the highest level, football matches are full of physical confrontation and vitality, and we find our philosophy, which is what the coach brings to us: no matter who is on the court, fans should be proud of them because they always give their all.

About Shevalier

-He has adapted well, and speaks very well in French. It wasn't easy, especially when joining the team after a great goalkeeper who showed a good personality. We know his potential, he is ready, performs well, and takes responsibility. He has the potential to become a top goalkeeper.

About Atlanta

- We hope to get a good start right away, tomorrow's game may have been decisive. Last year we made some mistakes at home, and this year we definitely have to achieve good results at home, and we are very focused on this game.

About the Champions League Championship

—These goals motivate us to move forward. Winning another Champions League title is also an inspiration for me. Once you taste that, you won't think of failing anymore. It is a good thing to have this motivation and ambition, and it is also the driving force for us to keep moving forward. Our team is very young, with many 19-year-olds and 20-year-old players who are not satisfied with winning just one Champions League title. Even if I am 31 years old, that's true.

About Zabarni

—There has been a lot of competition here, and I have put all my strength in every game in Paris. Competition will drive you forward and motivate you to work harder. He is a very good defender and I try my best to help him whenever he needs help. As for how many games we play, that is the coach's question. Load management is crucial this season, so he hopes these players can fill what he thinks is a vacancy. I was really happy when there were great players on the team. Be honest with your teammates and the coach will make decisions.

Let’s talk about team dynamics

—When you achieve your goals, you will always feel pride in your heart. You still need to stay focused and not be too complacent. Experienced players, coaches and management always encourage us to keep moving forward and desire more. We can't always look back, we have achieved great success and must continue to pursue more.

About Balcola

—In this case, there are always some players who can seize the opportunity. But we are not surprised by Balcola's performance, the players around him may attract more attention, but he always makes a decisive role for us, especially when we need him the most. But we shouldn't put all the offensive pressure on Balcola, and the coach did a great job in that. We have important players absent tomorrow, but some key players from non-forwards have also scored important goals, such as Fabian Ruiz, Ashraf and Nuno Mendes. It's great to have a player like Balcola.

About Atlanta

-Tomorrow we will see who will play, and those players who will play will go all out to win. Atlanta has changed, with coaches and players replaced, but their philosophy remains the same. We observed how they played, but each game had its own story. We sometimes see unexpected things, but the strength of Paris Saint-Germain lies in how we can adapt every time. We want to dominate this game and control the ball. Italian teams are always hard to deal with.

About 2020 Reversal Atlanta

- We know Atlanta is a very good team, they have good physical fitness and are very fierce in the fight, and they are always like this. Even if the coach can make a difference, we know more or less how they will play tomorrow. The game was very difficult, we kept on until the end and scored two goals. That was a very beautiful feeling.
