Danilo’s Insights Ahead of PSG vs Barcelona: Anti-Yamal Plan, Excitement, and Underdog Status
1. PSG Not the Favorite: “In the Champions League quarterfinals, there are no favorites. PSG and Barcelona are two strong teams globally. With five Champions Leagues, you could say Barcelona is the favorite. It’s knockout, favorites don’t matter. We’ll see on match day.”
2. Luis Enrique, the Ideal Coach: “He gives everyone a chance, making players more available. Even when things aren’t going well, we want to lift our heads and confirm.”
3. Players’ Excitement: “We’ve played many games, it adds some excitement. It’s a special match between two world-class clubs. No one wants to lose this match, players or executives. We want victory to please the supporters.”
4. Managing Tensions: “I prefer not to talk too much and focus on the match, tactics, and what the coach asks us to do. When you talk too much and don’t do the job during the match, it’s not good. We need to focus on the match and not talk.”
5. Anti-Yamal Strategy: “We want to keep the ball, take it away from Barcelona. An anti-Yamal plan? We never focus on just one player. He’s a magnificent player with the ability to play one-on-one.”
