Kombouaré: 'Continue our winning run'

Coach's Conference | 2009-12-04 | 16:40

PSG coach Antoine Kombouaré looks back at the two wins over Auxerre (1-0) and Boulogne (5-2) before looking ahead to Saturday's away match against Bordeaux.

Coach, have the results against Auxerre and Boulogne taken a little pressure off your size?
"Absolutely not! We've got even more because we are desperate to continue our winning run. We want to keep this series going. Every game is the same – we question ourselves. It's important to confirm our good results but we're always demanding more. When we lose, we need to find answers to turn things around. When we win, you need to keep the pressure on. We can't let the pressure off after everything we've been through."

You must be satisfied with the six points from two games, but what about the way you played?
"Over these two games, I especially liked the win over Auxerre. It wasn't easy against a team that fought for each and every possession. We were up against a great opponent and we needed to be on top of our game to win. I'm also very happy with the Boulogne win. There were certain things I didn't like, but I prefer to focus on the scoreline."

Is the game against Bordeaux a big test?
"Every game is a test. Auxerre were leaders, so that was a test. We needed to get a result after three home games without a win. Now we will do whatever we can to beat Bordeaux. We have prepared well, thanks notably to two wins. But to beat the reigning champions and the current league leaders will take an excellent PSG. There's no better challenge for us."


Are you worried about Bordeaux's ability from set pieces?
"When you play Bordeaux, you have to be on your guard. Before Valenciennes beat them, they'd been more than two years without a home loss. This season, they've now won six out of seven at home. They're good everywhere and especially good from set pieces. We know we will have to be very good to defend against them."

What will be the key to victory?
"We need to be good all over the park and especially good defensively. We need to bring the ball out cleanly from defence and look to play. If you let them play, they'll steamroll you. They keep possession and attack through the middle, down the wings, from set pieces... We need to be strong all over the park and try and cause them as many problems as we can."
