Response of Paris's championship in France

"To this day, walking on the streets of Paris, there are still people who will come to thank you and hug you. As a certain age, who has been a player and coached for many years, this feeling is precious. You will meet some people you have never met, and I am sure that their life is not easy, but in this month, this game, this year, they can be happier, enjoyed, and even overcome some difficulties because of the team."

About the downturn in the group stage to the final victory in the Champions League

"In the first few games, we were like walking a tightrope. Although we deserved to get more points, the situation became tense and confidence decreased.

The selflessness of the team changed all this. We face the problem--we created Many opportunities failed to translate into goals. So we asked ourselves: 'Why not try to find the best teammate in the penalty area? 'Then the data changed, victory followed one after another, and confidence recovered. Those games that could not be won were suddenly relatively easy. '

About Munich's 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the final "Two weeks before the game, I was actually worried - we had just finished the French Cup final. The only idea of my coaching staff and I was to keep the team relaxed before the Champions League final and not be overwhelmed by the scene and atmosphere, because although the support of the fans is precious, too much emotion is also a burden.

I told the players: 'We must do 105%, not 120%, because too much force will be crushed. ’The tension in such games can be abnormal, and the team has done a great job of controlling this emotion. ”

About the celebration after the final whistle

"It was a time that was recorded in history - beautiful memories, beautiful pictures, many hardships and sufferings, which are the reasons why people cherish happiness more. After experiencing pain, you will understand the value of these moments more.

You know what my family has experienced (lost my 9-year-old daughter Xana in 2019). Life has life and death, which is destined, but no one can truly accept death. Over the years, we have learned to live in another fulfilling way. Even if Xana is not with us, she is still with us in a spiritual way. That game reminds me that she once loved being on the court On the run, she will definitely enjoy this moment - and she enjoyed it through her siblings and parents. It was a beautiful and moving moment, because the players and staff families were on the scene, and we wanted more of it. "

About Paris' next goal

"The goal of the new season is to improve ourselves. From the number of championships, the task will be more difficult because there are more trophys to compete for. But from the football level, I think we can still improve on both offense and defense. We can also find room for improvement at different stages of the game.

When competing for the championship, we will fight for all the championships. Of course, we all believe that we can win them all, and if it can be achieved again, it will really go down in history, which gives us special motivation."
