The Paris Saint-Germain defender is in bullish mood ahead of meeting Liverpool at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.
KEY TO THE MATCH
"I think we know what we have to do. We have to improve our team mentality, we have to play for each other and above all have no regrets. The coach shows us the little details that aren't working. When he has something to say, he says it and knows how to say it. It's why things have worked well since the start of the season and we have to keep doing that to continue improving."
POSITIONING
"We're here to play football, and we work. When you're part of a squad, there's no question of liking the choices made or not, you have to put yourself at the disposition of the team and the coach. I try to meet the coach's expectations, I do my best and I want to give my all for the team. If the coach asks me to play in this or that position, it's because he knows it's for the good of the team."
THE MATCH
"There's great energy around this match, and we know the atmosphere will be magnificent tomorrow. We're aware of the stakes, we have great ambitions and to achieve them, we have to win this game. Everyone needs to play to their best, put in a great display and win it."
THE TEAM
"We're all focussed on the same goal. It's an important match. Details are all important in these sorts of games, we know that. If the team is good, the individuals will make the difference. We'll have to be compact, play together, play for each other and not leave too much space. Everyone has to make an effort and we're ready."
