Marquinhos: You need to win trophies, because such an opportunity does not come every day

PSG defender Marquinhos commented on the upcoming UEFA Super Cup match against Aston Villa. "It will be a long road in the new season. We will move step by step. Tomorrow we have the first goal. Even though we have not had much training, we are full of determination. We need to win trophies, because this opportunity does not come every day. Even during the break, the players worked on themselves to show their best game tomorrow. The team on the field will give 100% to win. We want to win the trophy - it is important for us. We know that our fans will be on our side and we want to bring the trophy home. The goal is to keep winning trophies and making history. Even though we won a lot of trophies last season, we will continue in the same spirit because that is the mentality of PSG. Luis Enrique is full of energy! He is a coach who communicates his opinion to the players from day one. This is a very ambitious and clear position. He understands that our team may not be in the best shape since the start of the season, but we will progress. Two years ago, Aston Villa was difficult to face in the Champions League. We will rely on our experience, on the path we took to get here. We will take our history with us into tomorrow's match, but we will also put aside everything that has happened in recent seasons to move forward and achieve new successes. The role of the captain in working with newcomers? The captain's role is to create the best possible environment for them by communicating with them from day one. I think we have a very open team and everyone is always ready to welcome new players. My role is more in the dressing room than on the pitch - I explain the philosophy of the club to them. The return of Lucas Ding? When Lucas first got here, he got here at the same time as me. Then our paths diverged - I stayed, and he left in search of other goals. When we met again we hugged and I'm so happy to see him again. He was part of the history of PSG. He knows the history, he's a good player and a friend. We had great moments together, and I hope there will be even more in the future," Marquinhos was quoted as saying by the club's press service. As a reminder, the match between PSG and Aston Villa will take place tomorrow, August 12, at 10:00 p.m.
