"It's really a bad day ..." Invited to comment on PSG's second defeat in a fortnight, this Sunday evening in Rennes (1-0), after that in Lens (3-1) on January 1, Vitinha recalled the fundamentals as the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Bayern looms in a month.
Without being alarmist, the Portuguese calls on everyone to get back to work to "show that we are the best team".
Is this defeat another blow after the one in Lens a fortnight ago?
VITINHA.
It's a defeat we didn't expect.
We tried to give our best, to create chances to have the opportunity to score but we conceded this goal and we did not manage to come back to score to get at least the point of the draw.
It really is a bad day.
We will have to analyze what went wrong and review this match to see what we can improve.
Since the start of the year, it feels like you can't create anything as a team.
I know that all teams can show their best and their worst side.
Maybe we showed a less good one this (Sunday) evening.
We have to work on that because it's the best way out.
We know it's hard to lose.
We have to focus on the next game, improve and show that we are the best team.
Are you worried after this second defeat?
No, I'm not worried.
We didn't want this defeat but it happened, and as I said before we have to work not to let it happen again.
I'm really not worried at all.
