Paris Saint-Germain captain and key defender Marquinhos shared his thoughts ahead of the crucial clash with Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup. According to him, the team is eager to kick off the new season with a trophy.
From the Champions League to the Super Cup
The Brazilian footballer believes that finishing last season as Champions League winners was a huge historic achievement for PSG. “Starting the new season as Super Cup holders feels completely different. Since this opportunity is coming to us for the first time, we approach it with even more responsibility. Winning such a trophy is a great honor, but we want to achieve it again and again,” Marquinhos said.
On the opponent and team’s condition
According to Marquinhos, Tottenham is a team with high physical readiness:
“We also have not lost our rhythm after the Club World Cup. You can clearly see it in training sessions. Of course, our physical shape is not yet perfect, but we have a high-level team and our own playing style.”
The anticipated showdown
The UEFA Super Cup match between PSG and Tottenham will kick off at 00:00 on the night of August 13 to 14. This game is expected to be a key test that will set the tone for both teams in the new season.
From Marquinhos’ words, it is clear that PSG will take the field not only to win the trophy but also to gain the first psychological edge of the season. Fans are anticipating a high-quality and intense football clash between two top clubs.
