Marginhos: I lost once the Champions League final & I hope this time I won the championship, the whole team will defend together

May 22nd News Paris Saint-Germain's Media Day event this week, Paris captain Marginhos was interviewed.

Paris Saint-Germain once again reached the Champions League final. Currently, only you and Kinpenbee have participated in the 2020 Champions League final. This is a long road, sometimes it is beautiful and sometimes it is difficult. I've been through a lot of things here, and I've played with many champions and even legendary football players. Now I have the opportunity to usher in this important moment again, and I attach great importance to it and I will do my best to it. I have lost a chance to win the Champions League, and now another chance has come, I don't want to lose it again. I want to win, I want to bring the trophy to Paris and my hometown, which is the best thing for me.

Who is stronger, this Paris Saint-Germain or the 2020 final?

It is hard to say, we must have different competition concepts. The Paris Saint-Germain was very strong at the time, and I really liked it. We had a good season and had a lot of good emotions, although the global pandemic was affected by the epidemic at that time. And now this PSG will show an admirable motivation and energy on the court, and I think that's why people think this PSG is better. I love this team, love everything we do on the court, love our efforts, love the coach’s game preparation, love our life in the locker room. So I really hope we can win this Champions League and for our work so far, winning this trophy will be the most important thing. We have done a really good job and now we are going to work hard to win this final.

What do you think of the Inter Milan forward combination, Turam Jr. and Lautaro? How will you defend them during the game?

They are two very strong forwards, both of which are of high level. I have played against Lautaro in Brazil's national team and you can tell his confidence that he is in an excellent period. I haven't played against Turam in recent years, but he has been able to hurt his opponents since he was very young. However, all the strikers we encountered in the Champions League are strong and we will try not to let our opponents score goals, and we must do so in the finals. We must play a high-level game together. When the whole team defends together, presses together, and does not give the opponent a chance to think, our defenders' defense will be easier. Our defenders need help from the striker and midfielder, and their help makes our job easier.
