Author of a good match despite the defeat of the Netherlands (1-2), this Friday against the Blues, Xavi Simons (20 years old) stopped for a few moments in the mixed zone to discuss the meeting but also his future in club . At 20, he shined with Leipzig where he was loaned by PSG who kept a very close eye on him.
How did you experience this match?
XAVI SIMONS. When you play at home, you always want to take three points. It’s important to us. Unfortunately it didn’t. We have to raise our heads to have a good match on Monday against Greece.
Is the French team already a favorite for the Euro in your opinion?
The Euro hasn’t started, you can’t say if they are favorites or not. There are very good teams. It’s not my job to say if they are favorites or not. I am focused on my selection. Monday, we have a very good match to play, we will have to win.
Is it difficult to play against Kylian Mbappé?
(He smiles) It’s normal. He is a very high level player, but not just him. It’s the whole team, they have a very solid team. They proved it, but we must continue.
Was it nice to see him face to face?
It’s always a pleasure to play against great players, even more so when it’s a friend, but as soon as the match starts there are no more friends. But yes, after the match we talked.
You faced several Parisians this Friday evening. Would you like to play with them next season?
I’m happy in Leipzig, I don’t think about anything else. I have a very exciting season to play and I will also see with my team.
