by time news

The Parisian coach spoke at a press conference after the card against Metz, during the last match of the season, Saturday, at the Parc des Princes.

Mauricio Pochettino (PSG coach, after the 5-0 victory against Metz in the last match of the season for the Parisian club ) : «(When did he know about Mbappé?) I found out today a few minutes before the announcement. (…) We are happy with his sporting development, when we arrived a year and a half ago, he was a very criticized player in France, who could not express his potential. His extension is very important for the whole club. It’s also very good for the supporters because he has the DNA of Paris. We are proud that a year later he extended with Paris Saint-Germain and became top scorer in Ligue 1 and one of the best players in the world, if not the best. It is a source of great pride and we are happy for the club. (…)

Angel (Di Maria, who played his last match with Paris-SG on Saturday) is perhaps one of the best players in the history of the club, today we lived a day with a lot of emotions. (…) The plan is to rest for a few days and then reconnect with the club and continue the work we are doing
