Ousmane Dembélé and the Paris Saint-Germain coach spoke to PSG TV after the 1-1 draw with Toulouse FC on Matchday 2 of Ligue 1 on Saturday August 19.
LUIS ENRIQUE
"The match was evenly balanced and hard-fought, and I think we had a good rhythm for the first 60 minutes. Our opponents barely got close to our goal and, after the goal, we went into a slightly crazier phase of losing control. I know a lot of people don't like possession. But I love it. We need to have even more possession, we need to generate even more chances to score and, above all, we need to prevent our opponents from creating them. There were 15 or 20 crazy minutes and then the penalty. It's a shame because I think we deserved to win the game, but Toulouse are a team with a very good structure, who play good football and are difficult to play against."
OUSMANE DEMBÉLÉ
"How do I feel? Honestly, very good. I'm very happy to be making my debut with Paris-Saint-Germain, even if today we've come away with a point from Toulouse, after a match we'd controlled. It's frustrating. But I'm happy with my first minutes with PSG.
The coach's idea, the way he wants to play, is very clear. It's easy to find each other and to get into the penalty area. It's a game that's perfect for the qualities of the players. We're going to keep on working. We're in our second league game, we've had the pre-season, but we still need to work on becoming a great squad and a great team. We've had a lot of fun. Even if, as I say, we've come away with a point. We found each other easily, I think we enjoyed ourselves, but in the end, it's the result that counts."
