Check out what the Parisian camp was saying after Thursday evening’s 1-1 draw with Greek side Panthrakikos at Evry-Bondoufle.

Antoine Kombouaré (PSG coach)
“There were some good things and some less good things. We lacked a bit of rhythm. I’m a little disappointed because our opponents were just looking not to lose. We should have pressed a little further up the pitch and match them play a little. Still, it was just a training match and the idea was to continue to develop the players understanding. The legs were still a bit heavy. We need to work now at recovering our freshness, our spark and out speed. We’ll work towards that this week.”

Mevlut Erding (PSG striker)
“I’ve been waiting for this first match with PSG for weeks now. It’s great to finally be out on the pitch. I still feel a bit of pain in the groin, but I needed to get back playing again and it went well. For my first match, I felt really good, although a little tired. It’s just a shame it ended in a draw.”

Christophe Jallet (PSG defender)
“It was a good workout. That was the aim. Everyone played 45 minutes and we worked well, at least physically. In terms of the result, we could have done better, but we didn’t lose either. It’s just a shame we conceded that goal. We’ll resume training tomorrow and keep trying to improve. We need to keep working hard to have a good start to the championship.”
