As demanding as I am of myself,

I want to continue and enjoy a growing club surrounded by the best footballers in the universe.

I like everyday life, the city and my teammates.

My family is happy and I want to continue”.

In Paris, Danilo, Gueye, Rafinha arrived… And I played and I always had responsibilities.

It made me a better footballer.

I like having midfielders by my side who make me better and the team better.

In addition, the Spaniard is the first player in the current squad to also take a look at the expected arrival of Christophe Galtier, even if he is content to mention the coach's style of play, particularly with Lille when he was champion of France.

“Every time I faced him, he underlines, they used a 4-4-2 with a very tight block, where it was very difficult to pass the ball between the lines because they were like hounds on the hunt waiting for you to make a mistake so they can counterattack.

They were a tough team to beat and he was champion with Lille, which was an achievement.

Football-wise, that's what I can say, but Mauricio (Pochettino) is still our coach.

Asked whether PSG does not suffer from a form of instability from its coaches, Herrera replies: “No.

We talk about PSG because people like to talk about PSG.

A lot of teams change and people don't talk about the lack of stability.

How many coaches have Tottenham or Inter had?

Or Barça itself?

PSG are on everyone's lips and we accept it, but I don't see the change of coach as a lack of stability.

Even if you change, you can have a project.

Finally, as after the last match of the season when he appeared in the mixed zone at the Parc des Princes, Herrera is enthusiastic about Kylian Mbappé and his extension.

"We weren't surprised by the decision, we were surprised by the timing," he said.

We thought it would be a week or ten days later.

We are very happy to be able to take advantage of whoever will be perhaps the best player of the next ten years,” added the midfielder.

"I think in Madrid he was going to be one of the best players in their history, for sure, and in PSG he can be the best player in the club's history," he concluded.
