Thilo Kehrer : 'All of our players are talented'

The Paris Saint-Germain defender appeared at the press conference on the eve of Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League group stage match against Leipzig on Wednesday 4 November at 21 :00 CET at the RB Arena. Here’s what Thilo had to say.

LEIPZIG

"For us, the key will be making sure we're really well organised. We'll be well prepared for
the game. It'll be important to show both quality and team spirit as a strong, tight-knit group.
We'll all need to be working together to get the win. Leipzig are a team that has been in the
German championship for a few years now. They play with high intensity, they're very good
at pressing and they have quality players. That' why they are third in the league table. Their
players are very good and work extremely hard. Their playing style is very difficult to deal
with, because they press high up the pitch and they do it aggressively. Plus, they’re well
organised. As soon as they win the ball back they look to get forward. That's how I see them."

ABSENTEES

"It's obvious that there will be some changes to the team, but we are a strong group with
quality players. Everyone in the squad is talented, that's why they play for Paris Saint-
Germain. We want to show that we can play well, and put in a good team performance. Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappé ? They have so much talent, but there are other injured players
who are also really talented. We're feeling good and we’re confident, despite the players we
have missing. Our goal is to win, as always."

FIXTURES

"It's true that there are a lot of games. We know that, but it doesn't only affect us. It's the
same for everyone. Unfortunately, we've got multiple injuries, but that's how it goes in sport.
We know that it's partly because of the amount of games we have in a short period of time,
but it's not only that. It's up to us to deal with it as a team, to stick together, and use all of the
fit players. We just concentrate on the positives, that's what is most important to us."
