Abdou Diallo was smiling after the PSG victory in Reims (3-0), Wednesday January 22. A success which propels the club of the capital in the final of the League Cup, which it will compete against Lyon, on Saturday April 4, at the Stade de France. For the central defender, who once again played in the position of left back, the objective is obviously to win this new trophy.
Despite a sometimes difficult performance, the main thing is done with the qualification for the final?
ABDOU DIALLO. We are in the final, and this is the last of the League Cup, so we are committed to making history. The lawn was difficult, but the score is wide, so we will be happy with it. If we make a competition, it is to go to the end. It will be a very nice match against a big team in France. This is a poster.

If I follow the matches, that suits me. I am not a post specialist, but I do my best. I listen to the tactics and I stay disciplined to the maximum to be efficient. I did not argue with the coach to know if I was number 1 or number 2. He told me what he expected from me tonight (Wednesday), not necessarily a very offensive side, but he wanted I am very disciplined to stop counterattacks.
Do you feel the group tired by the sequence of matches?
No. There is a chain of matches, but we expected it. We know about it, but we have a fairly large group. When someone is absent, there is always someone else to replace them. And for now, that smiles on us.
