00:00Good evening, I'm ready.
00:02You don't look at it, it's for that.
00:05Loic Tanzy for the team.
00:07Can we have some news first before we start?
00:11No, I don't know anything.
00:14Tomorrow there will be tests and we will inform you at the right time.
00:19But it's not anything serious, it's something very light.
00:22Surely there will be a doubt for the game.
00:26No, I can't say anything, I don't know.
00:30Tomorrow there will be medical tests.
00:32We will give you information.
00:34In any case, it's not grave, it's rather light.
00:37But in any case, there is still a doubt for the return.
00:41Good evening, coach Giovanni Castelli for the team.
00:44On the meeting this evening, we saw a very strong Paris Saint-Germain
00:48defensively.
00:49You talked about the work on the coups of pieds.
00:52You were performing.
00:53Are you proud of this?
00:55Do you think it's an extremely positive result this evening?
00:59Or there's a little regret, for example, with the chance of Bradley
01:02where it could be 2-0?
01:04I think the game has had different phases.
01:11Clearly the start of the game was an environment,
01:14an impressive stadium, with a loud noise.
01:19I think the beginning of the game has been wonderful for us.
01:23Because we have a goal supering a high pressure of the rival.
01:26That has given us confidence.
01:28And we have had a lot of control.
01:31We have had a lot of expectations and possibilities to do it in a few times.
01:35We have had a shot at the first part.
01:38But then in the second part, there have been phases in which Arsenal
01:41has not been able to dominate.
01:42And we have always had a danger in all the actions of the ballpark.
01:46Whether it be in the ballpark, corners,
01:48any action that will automatically launch long,
01:51I think we have defended them well.
01:54And the result is good.
01:56It could be better.
01:57It could be worse.
01:58It could be worse.
01:59It's all in the air.
02:01I think the match has had different phases.
02:08Clearly, at the beginning, there was an atmosphere
02:11and a stade which was particularly assourdissant.
02:14And it was a merveilleux for us with this goal marked.
02:17There was a pressing high.
02:19And this goal has given us confidence.
02:22I think that in the first half,
02:23we have really had the control of this period.
02:26We have also had opportunities supplémentaires.
02:29There was one poteau.
02:30And then in the second half,
02:32Arsenal has been able to dominate more.
02:34There was a danger,
02:35especially on the coups of pieds arrĂȘtĂ©s
02:36with the faults, the corners,
02:38and also on the long balls.
02:39It could have been worse.
02:40It could have been worse.
02:41It could have been worse.
02:42But things are still in suspense.
02:44Good evening, Luis Dominguez.
02:45The Parisian.
02:46Is it your collective resistance
02:49that makes you proud of this evening,
02:50as an trainer?
02:51This vision of being solid?
02:54Solidaires.
02:57I think I've already been telling you
03:02what are the sensations that this team transmits.
03:05You can win, you can lose,
03:07but we compete in every field
03:10and we seek to bring the game
03:12to what we are the best.
03:14I think today we've been able to see
03:17a lot of players to give a high level.
03:20Great defensive work of the puntas.
03:22Great defensive work of the midfielder.
03:26Great defensive work of the midfielder.
03:27Great defensive work of all.
03:30You can't play a home of Arsenal
03:33a player of this level
03:35and not start to question
03:38or start to evaluate
03:39how many efforts you do.
03:40No,
03:41with maximum effort,
03:42with and without ball.
03:43We've shown a very good version
03:45with ball,
03:46a lot of personality,
03:47and a version
03:49even better,
03:50without ball,
03:51being very solidary,
03:52defending with help,
03:53players from Saka,
03:55Martinelli and Odegaard.
03:57You need to defend them with help,
03:59because if not,
04:00you'll have problems.
04:06I think I've communicated
04:07this feeling
04:08that this team transmits me.
04:10It's a team
04:11that,
04:12whatever situation
04:13that they lose
04:14or they lose,
04:15we've tried
04:17the things
04:18that we can do
04:19with our qualities.
04:20We've tried
04:21this evening
04:22a great job
04:23individual
04:24and collective.
04:25We've tried
04:26a great job
04:27defensive
04:28of the attacking.
04:29We've tried
04:30a great job
04:31offensive
04:32of the terrain.
04:33We've tried
04:34a great job
04:35of the team.
04:36We've tried
04:37to do
04:38an excellent
04:39opponent
04:40and calculate
04:41his efforts.
04:42We've been
04:43with and
04:44without ballons.
04:45I think
04:46we've been
04:47even better
04:48and better.
04:49We've been solid
04:50and there was always
04:51in the phase
04:52defensive
04:53of the other players.
04:54You can't defend
04:55against players
04:56like Saka
04:57or Martinelli
04:58or Odegaard
04:59without receiving
05:00the aid defensive
05:01of your team.
05:02Arthur Perrault,
05:04RMC.
05:05Do you think
05:06the most difficult
05:07this evening
05:08and how,
05:09after the next match
05:10of the next week,
05:11do you think
05:12the motivation
05:13of the players
05:14and the fact
05:15that maybe
05:16nothing is still
05:17active?
05:18No,
05:19I'm not sure
05:20I'm not sure
05:21I'm not sure
05:22of it.
05:23I think
05:24that the most difficult
05:25is done
05:26and then
05:27the next week
05:28will you
05:29be able to
05:30do this?
05:31I think
05:32that
05:33the first
05:34goal
05:35has been achieved.
05:36I repeat
05:37that the result
05:38could have been
05:39a comeback
05:40and not have happened.
05:41It could have been
05:42a 0-2.
05:43So,
05:44this is the result.
05:45Nobody can change it.
05:46The goal
05:47is to win
05:48the next match
05:49against Arsenal.
05:52Unfortunately,
05:53there is no need to
05:54especular nothing
05:55because a goal
05:56in a normal action
05:57in a second
05:58is marked a goal
05:59and the match
06:00is equal.
06:01So,
06:02we did not
06:04be able to win
06:05when we lost
06:06in Anfield,
06:07in Casa,
06:08in Paris,
06:09and we went to Anfield
06:11to win the match.
06:12Now,
06:13we have to win the match
06:14and we have to win
06:15the match
06:16because
06:17it is possible
06:18that Arsenal
06:19can make a goal.
06:20They have nothing
06:21to lose.
06:22They are behind
06:23in the eliminator.
06:24It will be a semi-final
06:25second round
06:27so,
06:28that is,
06:29that is,
06:30that is,
06:31that is,
06:32that is,
06:33I have to win the match.
06:34I think
06:35I think
06:36the first
06:38objective
06:39which was
06:40this first match
06:41has been
06:42filled.
06:43It was possible
06:44to have a match
06:45and that's not
06:46was grave.
06:47There was also
06:48there a 0-2.
06:49The result, in all
06:50in case,
06:51is there.
06:520-1
06:53and no one can change.
06:54But the goal,
06:55there is no one
06:56to win the second
06:57period
06:58of this double
06:59confrontation.
07:00And against Arsenal,
07:01It's not calculated because it's a team that can, in one second,
07:05change everything with a goal.
07:06And there, we go to 0.
07:09When we received Liverpool, we were menés 1-0.
07:13And, despite all, we didn't plonger.
07:15And at Anfield, we knew what happened.
07:17So, it's not going to win.
07:19It's absolutely going to win the match at home
07:21because we're going to play against a team that has nothing to lose.
07:24So, this second part will be passionately for the supporters
07:27and will be the occasion of a great suffering for the trainers.
07:31Good evening.
07:32Philippe Sanfourche, for RTL.
07:34Is the scenario of the meeting during the return of Birmingham
07:39against Aston Villa,
07:40has served to your players collectively, mentally,
07:43in the way of managing the meeting,
07:45by having led the score quite quickly
07:47and, in the way, being more easily capable
07:50of managing the strong and weak times?
07:53Look, I've seen some repeated actions of Birmingham.
07:58We could have scored 3-3.
08:00I remember a hand of Ousmane Dembélé,
08:02who was out of the game for a minute.
08:03I remember a 1-1 of Desiree Douai in the minute 80 and pico.
08:08We could have started that game 3-3.
08:10There were only 10 minutes, 15 minutes,
08:12in which the rival was about to be able to win.
08:16The rest, I think...
08:18In that second part, I saw many things that I saw today.
08:22We are a team that tries to play well football
08:25because it's the best way to achieve results,
08:29the best way that we consider it
08:31by the profile of the players that we have.
08:33That's what we like to our fans.
08:35We can feel it, we see each game.
08:37And, I repeat, it's a great joy for us to make this result in the first game.
08:43But, this is nothing more than to start.
08:46There is still a game back,
08:48in which there will surely be opportunities for our two teams.
08:57J'ai vu se répéter parfois des choses que j'ai pu voir à Birmingham.
09:01Ă Birmingham, il y aurait absolument pu y avoir un match nul 3-3.
09:05J'ai vu DembĂ©lĂ© ĂȘtre hors jeu d'Ă peine un millimĂštre.
09:08J'ai vu aussi une action dangereuse de Desiree Douai.
09:11Donc, il y a eu seulement, encore une fois contre Aston Villa,
09:1410 Ă 15 minutes oĂč l'adversaire aurait pu l'emporter,
09:17mais pour le reste, c'était différent.
09:20J'ai vu des choses similaires.
09:22Et nous, nous sommes une Ă©quipe qui essaie toujours de bien jouer,
09:24de jouer de la meilleure des maniĂšres.
09:26Et je pense que nos supporters aiment particuliÚrement ça.
09:28C'est quelque chose qu'on voit.
09:30Donc, ce résultat, c'est une grande joie,
09:32mais ça ne fait vraiment que commencer.
09:34Et il y a un match retour oĂč chacune des deux Ă©quipes aura sa chance.
09:39DerniĂšre question.
09:40Oui, bonjour.
09:41C'est Enrique Arnon-Hermand, l'Ă©quipe.
09:43Un petit mot sur la prestation de Donnarumma
09:45qui, finalement, n'a pas été tant sollicitée que ça
09:47et qui a répondu trÚs positivement.
09:51Je pense que nous avons fait trois changements,
09:56peut-ĂȘtre qu'il y a trois ou quatre.
09:58Ne sais pas.
09:5914 ou 15 joueurs qui ont joué.
10:00Je pense qu'il y a 14 ou 15.
10:02Un n'a pas réussi à faire un résultat comme le que nous avons réussi en Londres,
10:11si tu n'as pas 14 ou 15 joueurs plenament convencidos de ce que nous devons faire.
10:17Et puis, c'est évident qu'il y a des joueurs qui ont brillé plus.
10:20C'est Ă©vident qu'il y a des joueurs de la maison et contre un rival
10:24qui utilise toutes les accions de ballon paré pour générer des problÚmes,
10:28c'est nécessaire d'avoir un portero de haut niveau.
10:30C'est ce que nous avons.
10:32Et je n'aimerais pas individualiser seulement le portero.
10:35Je pense que tous les joueurs, la ligne defensiva,
10:37les trois mediocampistes, Warren, que a sali aussi,
10:40les trois delanteres...
10:41Je pense que tout le équipe, en général,
10:43a montré la mentalité nécessaire pour obtenir ce résultat.
10:46J'aimerais vraiment souligner le travail de 14 ou 15 joueurs.
10:55Je ne me souviens mĂȘme plus si j'ai fait 3 ou 4 changements.
10:58On ne parvient pas à ce résultat à Londres
11:01sans avoir 14 ou 15 joueurs absolument convaincus
11:03de ce qu'il fallait faire.
11:05Bien sûr que certains joueurs ont brillé davantage,
11:07et quand on joue à l'extérieur contre un adversaire
11:10qui est capable de crĂ©er le danger avec des coups de pied arrĂȘtĂ©s,
11:13Ă©videmment, tu as besoin d'un gardien de trĂšs haut niveau.
11:16Mais j'ai eu une ligne défensive incroyable,
11:18des milieux incroyables.
11:20Warren qui entre, et c'est trĂšs bien.
11:22Trois attaquants incroyables.
11:23Donc je pense que tous ces joueurs-lĂ
11:25ont démontré la mentalité nécessaire
11:26pour obtenir le résultat de ce soir.
11:28Merci.
11:29Bonne fin de soirée.
11:30Merci.
