From the auditorium of the Parc des Princes, on the eve of Bruges-PSG, Achraf Hakimi presented himself to a press conference before the last match of the calendar year in the Champions League.

The Moroccan right-back was brief but confided in his adaptation and the game developed by his team.

What has been the most difficult in your adaptation since the start of the season?

ACHRAF HAKIMI.

I started the season well, it's true.

I was able to score a few goals.

But I remain a defender.

I try to help the team in attack but my first objective is to defend well.

The season is going well.

I am starting to take French lessons.

I'm starting to get used to French culture and also to the cold (smile).

How did the bond with Kylian Mbappé come about?

We are very good friends.

The complicity was natural.

What I like, he loves.

We are the same age, we are two kids.

It brings us together on and off the pitch.

Is there a feeling of revenge after the draw (1-1) of the first leg?

There is no revenge.

It's one more game.

We want to take the three points and take advantage of this competition.

What's the most important game of the week?

You know the answer (smile).

I think of tomorrow's and then of next weekend.

Were you surprised by the quality and level of Brugge in the first leg?

I had already played against Brugge when I was at Borussia Dortmund.

They have good players, they are strong at home.

I think it will be the same tomorrow.

Do you understand the criticisms on the level of play?

People will always criticize, whether we play well or badly.

We respect them.

But there are a lot of new players.

We must first try to get along well.

You have to be patient with that.

We will improve the game little by little and we will give pleasure to the public.

Are you disappointed to be second in the group?

Not at all a disappointment.

Many clubs finished second in the pool and won the Champions League.

The objective was to reach the round of 16.

We can be first and fall against a very strong opponent… We are now thinking of Bruges and we will see the rest afterwards.
