Shock Draw at Parc des Princes
SKY Reporter - "Rudi and Nick, what are your reactions after this draw?"
Rudi Garcia (PSG Manager) - "KuPS are a stronger team than most people expected them to be. They have some good players and they have great passion. It is hard to break down their defence and when you do, you have to score against a quality goalkeeper. They have great depth and a great manager. Of course I'm disappointed with the result because I feel that we have a better squad than them and I will certaintly make sure that the players will play better next time we play against them."
Nick Heighway - "Yeah, I agree with Rudi that PSG have a greater squad of players but only technically and physically. They have better training facilities than us but I think we showed that we wanted the win more and we were unfortunate not to get it. I felt that we were the better team in the first half and took our goal to wake the sleeping beast of PSG."
"You both opted for the 4-5-1 formation. Why did you both decide to use this formation?"
"Well I felt that we needed to control the midfield but the players just didn't do their work here today and I'm very disappointed in them."
"This is the formation that we are used to and the formation that we will continue to use for the forseeable future."
"Discussing players?"
"We were missing Thiago Motta for this game which played a huge part. Credit to KuPS as they mad Sirigu work in our goals."
"We rested quite a few players who started in the cup final but the players who started showed their worth and earned us a point. Etchu has a slight knock and should be fine but there is worse news for Shefki Kuqi who has, to my understanding, torn a calf muscle and will be out for four to five months."
"Thank you Rudi and Nick."
