Men's football•
The Paris Saint-Germain coach was in optimistic mood as he spoke to PSG TV and the world's media ahead of Saturday's FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final against Bayern Munich in Atlanta.
TEAM SPIRIT
"To be honest, the week has been tough because it was very long, with six days between matches. It's a lot at the end of a season. We had a good week of training, we did our work. I think the team is ready. Of course, it'll be difficult against a very good team in the competition and a very good team in Europe."
"We've already played Bayern, we know this team. It'll be an open game with two teams that attack"
BAYERN MUNICH
"We've already played Bayern, we know this team. It'll be an open game with two teams that attack. I'm sure the fans will enjoy it. We want to continue in the competition, that's clearly our objective. In any case, things are very positive."
"I have no feelings of revenge. It's a quarter-final and that's enough for me to be motivated."
THE DEFEAT IN MUNICH
"It would be took easy to say that one game was the turning point. I think that throughout the season, we've seen the team progress. We were lacking a clinical streak at the start of the season, especially in the Champions League. I don't know where the turning point came, but I'm very happy with the way the team has developed and how the season has played out. The players are talking about revenge? For me, it's a bit different. I don't have any feeling of revenge. In terms of what? The league phase game? It'll be a quarter-final, and for me, that's enough to be motivated."
OUSMANE DEMBÉLÉ
"Ousmane has trained with the squad all this week. Those sessions have given me information. I'm very happy to see him back with the team, but it's not the moment to give our opponents information. We'll see."
DIOGO JOTA
"It's without doubt the worst news we could get. The world of football is in shock. It's tragic. It's very hard for everyone, especially the Portuguese players. It's tough. You have to accept it, but it's very tough."
