The Brazilian defender does not hide his frustration with the elimination of PSG in the Coupe de France and sends a strong message a few days before the match against Bayern Munich, for the Champions League.
PSG attracts criticism. The Parisian side succumbed to Olympique de Marseille in the Coupe de France, the cast of Alexis Sánchez, who put in one of their best performances so far this season. The elimination of the current Ligue 1 champion in the second most important competition for his country is another failure.
One of the sectors most targeted by the press is the rear which could not contain the attacks of those led by Igor Tudor, who were commanded by the Chilean. Marquinhos, captain of Paris Saint-Germain, did not hide his discomfort at being excluded from the competition. “We missed things, it’s time to shut up. We know we have to improve a lot if we want to do it right. A title that hurts. We are upset,” he said, in dialogue with BeIN Sports.
“We knew they would push a lot. We couldn’t pass their lines faster. We made mistakes that cost us dearly (…) We know what we need to improve. It’s a defeat that hurts because it’s a cup match against our great rival. We wanted to go home with victory and qualification. We have to do better, keep working and look to the future”, he analyzed later. in conversation with the France 3 media.
In the French first division, PSG is the leader, with 54 points. It is followed, precisely, by Marseille with 46 units. However, their big push for the season is to win the Champions League, a competition in which they will face Bayern Munich in the round of 16.
“There were times when we won everything and when we reached the Champions League we lost. Each party has its own story. It’s true that it’s not our best moment”, anticipates the defender, facing the duel with the Germans.
The Brazilian exposes his frustration generated by having fallen in the match where Alexis Sánchez shone and marked the opening of the account. “We have to be quiet, calm. We are sad. We have won a lot and we also have to know how to lose. We will continue together, we know that there are a lot of discussions outside, ”he adds.
Alexis’ afternoon
The day PSG were knocked out of the Coupe de France will also be remembered as the day Sánchez shone again against a great European rival. For this reason, the press of the old continent did not skimp on the praises of the Wonder Child. A magnificent Alexis overshadowed Messi and Neymar and gave Marseille a dream ranking. The Chilean is always ready for big events and today he showed it”, published the Marca newspaper.
The Spanish newspaper described him as ‘the best in the game’, claiming he gave a recital against Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos, the rival’s centre-back pair. For its part, L’Equipe had words for the Tocopillano goal: “Alexis Sánchez’s penalty left the Velodrome in turmoil”, they said. La Roja’s top scorer was responsible for opening the account against the club led by Cristophe Galtier.
