Naolia Traoré: "The culmination of all the hard work"
The Paris Saint-Germain striker spoke to PSG TV after signing her first professional contract.
Naolia, what's your first feeling after officially making your move into the world of professional football?
"I'm really happy! It's the culmination of all the hard work I've put in over the years. Still, it's only the beginning! I know I still have a lot of work to do, but I'm happy. It's a great source of pride, a milestone that I've managed to reach, but I'm going to keep working hard."
What does Paris Saint-Germain mean to you as a player from the Club's youth academy?
"It's a great club where I'd like to spend my whole career and win titles! Paris Saint-Germain has given me a great education. It allows us to develop as players, but also as women. We also have the opportunity to move up to the first team and gain experience alongside seasoned players."
And what do the first-team players bring to the table?
"Working alongside them is a plus, but I know I still have a lot of work to do. It's a great experience. They advise me to stay myself, to enjoy myself when I'm playing, and to gain experience."
