Predecessor of Leonardo as sporting director, Portuguese Antero Henrique left Paris in June 2019, two years after his arrival. If his record remains mixed, we can not hide that it is his insistence on Monaco that has mainly attracted Kylian Mbappé, in the wake of the successful closure of the Neymar file. Very discreet since his departure, Henrique has agreed to send us, from Lisbon, a few words before this semi-final.
“PSG has just celebrated the first 50 years of a life that will always be magical, but the next few days may add a truly unique golden page to this adventure, he wrote first. The moment is of hope and ambition, especially, of course, for Neymar and Mbappé, the more exposed faces of a project developed to elevate the PSG brand, the city of Paris and, logically, France. "He adds:" The entire workforce in Portugal deserves congratulations and recognition, not to mention Cavani and Meunier who have taken an important part in this journey. "
After having greeted Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, "a president who gathered all the means to make the next 50 years even more magical", Henrique believes that the match against Leipzig will be for Paris "the most important in its history, at the level of the memorable night of May 8, 1996, in Brussels (Editor's note: Cup Cup victory) ”. He concludes with this confession: "I will be one more ultra, outside the stadium, with all my energy and the secret wish that my country (Editor's note: Portugal) is inscribed in golden letters in the life of PSG, its president , its players and supporters.
