In an interview with the Spanish sports daily Marca, Ander Herrera gave some secrets that PSG supporters will certainly appreciate.
According to the Spanish midfielder, his two teammates Neymar and Kylian Mbappé want to stay at PSG: “Of course I want them to stay with us.
PSG have created a structure around them to achieve all their football ambitions.
I sincerely believe that they are happy, that they are convinced of this project and that they want to stay.
"
A feeling that the Spaniard supports by delivering other secrets: “Before arriving, you want to find out about your new club. Every day, I read the news, it seemed hectic: the Brazilians had problems with the French, the management had problems with I do not know who, Mbappé did not get along with Neymar. I arrive here and I discover a team that meets every week to eat together, that the training is very good and that one of Neymar's best friends in the locker room is Mbappé. "
On the other hand, when we mention the possible arrival of Lionel Messi at PSG, the Spaniard kicks in touch.
“When I arrived in Paris a year ago, the other clubs were talking about Neymar every day, I didn't like it because he had a contract and he had to respect it.

Facing City, "the key will be to close the spaces inside"
Regarding the change of coach in December, the 31-year-old believes that "physically, Pochettino demands more of you for 90 minutes". “He wants the team to go to the opponent's goal more directly. Tuchel, with whom I also learned a lot, liked having more possession. Now, if the opponent has the ball, we do not despair, because we know that from any recovery we can do damage. "

“It was probably the best 180 minutes I can remember.

They weren't as sharp as they were in those two games.
But we were as good as them.
This match was an ode to football.

Obviously, the Spaniard also mentioned the semi-final first leg of the Champions League on Wednesday against the English Manchester City: "The key will be to close the spaces inside when we do not have the ball and not to lose. patience.
