“He will have another test this afternoon with Nicolas Dehon, the goalkeeping coach, and we’ll see. So far, the injury is progressing well. I’m worried, because apart from receiving treatment, he hasn’t done much else this week. It’s an important day for him. But all the same, I’ll still be taking three ‘keepers just in case.” This Lyon, that won four straight games to start 2010 before being eliminated from the French Cup and then the League Cup... are you worried about this Lyon?
“Even if the results are there this last week. This Lyon still demands respect. Lyon don’t scare me, but I have the utmost respect the club. They’re a team capable of winning and they have very good players. They’ve lost their last two games in a week, eliminated from the Cups, so they’ve taken a bit of a knock to the morale, but I’m not kidding myself; I know we’ll see a great lyon against us this Sunday. It’s always that way.”
“Today, when you’re PSG, and no matter what problems Lyon are having, we are heading there to play as well as possible and get as many points as possible. We need the points because we’re coming off consecutive losses. We dropped three points at home to Monaco and we need to win them back away and our first away game is this weekend against Lyon. We have the potential to get the points.” Is your team mentally and physically ready?
“I know my team is motivated to pull off a big result. Having talked and worked with the players, I know that that’s what we’re aiming for. After, they have to be able to go out and actually do it. Each player needs to lift for the occasion. Even if we didn’t get the result, I was very pleased with the way we played, attacked and defended against Monaco. We need to reproduce that type of performance.”
