At the Parc des Princes, OL will have a tough task but Paulo Fonseca is confident ahead of the showdown.
“I am confident with the players we have and with the strategy we have prepared for this match,” declared the Lyon coach before facing PSG.
Before revealing some points of the plan to counter Luis Enrique’s men. “The first goal will be to defend well against a team with a lot of mobility. We must be strong to then create attacking opportunities. We have worked a lot on the defensive aspect,” analyzed Paulo Fonseca.
For Clinton Mata, “the most important thing will be to stay focused on ourselves”: “The victory against Lorient brought us confidence. In football, anything is possible: we will approach this match by putting all the odds on our side and trying to take points,” said the player, aware that his team will not have possession.
To do this, “we must make as few mistakes as possible,” continued the Angolan international: “Because against this kind of team, we pay for it dearly,” he noted.
And Clinton Mata remembers the first leg match: “We put on a very big performance, we looked Paris in the eye. We will try to reproduce that in the return match, being more efficient.”
The defender assures that there is no revenge to take. “But we hope that everything will be up to par in the return match, with a beautiful spectacle.”
