Paredes: 'I want to live up to the expectations'
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Leandro Paredes spoke to the media in the traditional pre-match press conference ahead of the Week 27 Ligue 1 clash away to Caen on Saturday at 17:00 CET:
SETTLING IN
"I haven't been here for long, but everyone has welcomed me very warmly, both on and off the pitch. There are a lot of South Americans in the team so it's a little easier. Working together is a great source of motivation."
POSITION
"I haven't played that much as a No.10, not enough to play there full time. I feel very comfortable playing as a No.6 or No.8 and playing with two or three in midfield suits me fine. I want to keep improving every day, I play with great players, a great standard and I want to keep working hard to reach their level and live up to the expectations of my teammates and the whole club."
CLUB AMBITIONS
"I feel very good in this team and I think we can do something great this year in the Champions League. In the first leg against Manchester United we showed a lot of quality, we played as a team and I think we're on the right track and now we have to keep going like this to reach our objectives."
ANGEL DI MARIA
"Angel called me before I signed here, we spoke a lot, about football, about the team, the club... He organised things for me even before I arrived. He has been a great help and I hope we can keep working hard together to take the team as far as possible in every competition we play in."
