Danilo Pereira after PSG’s victory against Orléans in the Coupe de France: “Try to win it”

“What is your first impression after this match?
We had a serious match. It was difficult away but the pitch was clean, we tried to play quickly, to score quickly. We had a serious first half, even if we only scored one goal. In the second, it was much more creative, with more opportunities and three new goals scored.

We have the impression that, this season, PSG is really taking the Cup seriously?
Every year, it’s a goal, we take all the matches seriously. But sometimes you can’t win. The Coupe de France is not easy, but we will try to win it.

“You have to be serious and strong in each competition to arrive in the Champions League with a good level”

Is this good preparation for the Champions League?
The Champions League is a complement to the Championship, the Cup too. You have to be serious and strong in each competition to arrive in the Champions League with a good level.

What did you think of Kylian Mbappé’s match?
It’s remarkable because he is always involved, he always tries to score, to help his teammates with his assists. But against teams from lower divisions, he is still there.

And the entry of Senny Mayulu, who scored at the end of the match?
He’s a young man who works well, who has talent, that’s why we were all for him. He is very talented and I think with work he can go far.

Gonçalo Ramos also scored.
It’s important because he was a little ill, it was difficult for him to come back, he lost a lot of weight. He’s coming back well. These matches are important to regain confidence. »
