For the second time this season in Ligue 1, PSG dropped points after their draw on the lawn of Reims (0-0) this Saturday evening. After a very lackluster performance marked in particular by the expulsion of Sergio Ramos, Nordi Mukiele admitted that the Parisian team could have done better in the game and better managed their minds.
How do you feel after this draw on the lawn of Reims?
NORDI MUKIELE. We are disappointed with the match and the result. We are not happy to leave with a point, it was a complicated match with tensions. It should be noted that we leave with a point, it’s always better than a defeat. We will concentrate on the match which arrives on Tuesday against Benfica and forget this one.
What did you dislike about your team’s performance?
We could have done better offensively and defensively. Gigio (Donnarumma) helped us a lot. We lacked success. I don’t doubt, guys don’t doubt, we will have to correct certain things, we know that, we will do it in the future. This match is over and others will be important. We must remember the fact that we are still undefeated. Is there fatigue? No, it’s the start of the season, we also rotated so the word fatigue, I don’t put it in there. It was not a good evening, in the next matches, we will be able to raise our heads.
How do you explain this tension displayed during the game?
It’s football, it happens, it happened tonight against us. We could have stayed a little calmer. But you know, when you’re on the pitch, you can’t calm the tension, you’re in adrenaline. It’s a shame to end up with a red. It’s a red that could have been avoided. But the match is over, we will put that behind us.
Have the arbitration decisions played a role in this tension?
Red changed the match, in the tensions, in the referee’s choices. But I don’t want to talk about the referee, he may have made mistakes, we do too, so we have to put that aside. We think of ourselves, we think of recovering because we have important matches coming up.
