What a great week for him. Carlos Soler, already a scorer against Haifa, started this Saturday against Troyes (4-3). He scored again, the first Parisian goal. He also caused the penalty scored by Mbappé. The former Valencia player is pleased to be part of a team in which evolves Messi and Neymar whom he had faced in Spain. In the mixed zone, he spoke, in Spanish, about his first months in Paris and he confirmed that he did not regret having left Spain.
This is the second game of the week where you score but tonight you started. How do you feel because it’s not easy to start at PSG?
CARLOS SOLER. It’s true that I couldn’t play many minutes. I knew coming here, to such a huge club, it would be complicated. Tonight I was able to play and score. I feel good. It’s true that it has been a special week for me. I am very happy.
What to remember from this match: the four goals scored or the three conceded?
In the end, the most important thing is the victory, I think, isn’t it? It’s true that we conceded three goals at home but we managed to come back twice. I find it positive, it shows that we have character, the quality to come back. And in the end we take the three points.
You faced Neymar and Messi in Spain. How does it feel to evolve alongside them?
It’s always a pleasure to play with the best players in the world. I suffered against them in Spain and there they are my teammates. I am happy to play with them, with this club, in front of these supporters. Since my arrival it has been wonderful. I work a lot and I will continue.
Is scoring and playing in Paris a good thing before the World Cup?
Yes, it’s true that it’s super special to play in a World Cup and represent your country. It’s the biggest thing that can happen to a footballer. I will do everything to play and help my club and then be part of the list for the World Cup.
Are you afraid of an injury before the World Cup?
During a match we don’t think about that. It’s true that the closer you get, the more any type of injury can deprive you of competition, but we don’t think about it.
Where do you feel most comfortable: in a two-person or three-person environment?
Systems are not a problem. I kinda don’t care, to be honest. I play where the Mister (coach) deems me most useful for the team.
