Angel Di Maria and Marquinhos after the Sunday burglaries

 : “The group is very united.

What happened, the whole group felt it, not just these two players.

We do not know what could have happened against Nantes if these events had not taken place ... Maybe we would have won and we would be in the lead, with a quarter-final in C1 and an 8th in the Cup from France to follow.

But we are very positive and we hope that everyone will be there tomorrow for this important match.

(…) There is no technical staff who has experienced what we are currently experiencing in football.

This is new for the staff but also for everyone, even epidemiologists with regard to the virus.

After two and a half months at the club, with a dozen injured, the coronavirus within the group but also the staff, the differences in level are important and we try to adapt with the medical staff to find the best strategy, plus the extra-sporting circumstances, like those of Sunday.

Angel and Marqui are doing fine.

Above all, their families are doing well, with the stress that this kind of situation can bring.

Despite all this, I am extremely positive because we are in the race for the title and we are qualified in C1 and in the Coupe de France despite this crazy context. "

We will try to adapt, as we always do, to improve and bring our team as high as possible. "

What a team against Lille

Not just physically, but also mentally.

There is a lot of work from the technical, medical and performance staff.

We will choose tomorrow (Wednesday) the best team to win this important match. ”

The programming of this PSG-Lille

 : “It's like that.

The calendar is what it is.

Being still in the Champions League race, we have to play this match tomorrow.

We are positive about that.

We have a large and quality group.

Everyone will be ready to help the team. ”

Frustration after Nantes
