They need time, but most of the time we don’t get it. The PSG team has had players exceptional and top-notch coaches for many years. They compete in the French League, the Cup and Europe. We know how difficult this is. However, at the same time, we will try to fight knowing how strong they are both individually and together. I think a Player like L. Messi speaks for himself. It is not necessary to describe him. What he has done is more than extraordinary. “
