Marquinhos: 'A new page to be written'
The Paris Saint-Germain captain gave us his thoughts on Thursday's group stage draw.
Marqui, what's your feeling on the draw?
"It's not an easy group. They're three teams that have done good things in recent seasons, and especially Leipzig, who reached the semi-finals last season. They're teams that play good football. We have to maintain our momentum, this competition is magical. We have to keep doing the good work we've done up till now."
What are the team's objectives in this group?
"Everyone knows what our aim is. We want to win every game. The group stage will start soon. We'll have to work well to be at our best and achieve our goals."
And there's some recent history with Manchester United...
"We have to use all the ingredients that can motivate us to give the best of ourselves. We all have different ways of doing that. Some will think about taking revenge, others will forget about it..It's another game, totally different to the last time. It's part of our history, and I think it's a new experience, a new page to be written."
You're going to start the new campaign as captain...
"The captaincy is very important and counts a lot for me. The captain has to control emotions, calm the team, motivate the players, you have to be able to do a lot of things. But there are lots of leaders in this team, each has his role to play. We have all the ingredients to have a great season."
