Five days after a contrasting first start against Borussia Dortmund, Randal Kolo Muani let loose this Sunday evening against Olympique de Marseille (4-0). Author of a goal and an assist, the vice-world champion was able to find his place in this experienced Parisian collective thanks to his mobility and a real desire to do well. After the meeting, the new number 23 of PSG looked back on this successful evening for him and his team.
Is it a successful match tonight against Marseille?
RANDAL KOLO MUANI. Yes, it’s a match that we managed properly. We listened to the coach’s instructions and I think we had a very, very good match, very complete in terms of the quality of possession, we didn’t concede any goals, we were solid. We can be proud of ourselves. The perfect copy? Winning a clasico 4-0 at the Parc, I think it’s perfect yes.
Winning 4-0 against OM, what does that feel like?
It feels good, it feels good. We are all happy, even the supporters liked the match. We can be proud of ourselves in terms of the show
Scoring at the Parc des Princes in a Classic and opening your goal account with PSG must be something…
For a first goal, I couldn’t have dreamed of better, I’m very happy and proud of the team, it’s also thanks to them. We will continue to work and improve for the next matches.
You had a good match but you were also helped by the opponent who was not there this evening?
That’s another situation. We tried to play our game and as usual, we didn’t change so we continued with our possession and being efficient in front of goal. Whether Marseille was there or not, we knew how to play our game.
Were you surprised by the low impact made by the Marseillais in a match that is described as the match of the year?
No, I think we were simply superior. We played our role and I wasn’t too concerned about Marseille’s performance.
“We are very, very united this season and that is our strong point”
Between the good start in the Champions League and this victory against OM, it’s a pretty perfect week. What is the atmosphere like in the group?
It’s a good week, we can be proud of ourselves. We take it game by game and we did a good job there. We will continue to work and rest to have a good match next week. After the defeat against Nice (3-2, September 15), I said that we needed time because there are a lot of changes in the squad and there are a lot of new players. We are adapting slowly but surely.
What has been PSG’s strength for some time?
It’s our way of playing and we apply what the coach asks of us very well. We must continue this momentum and continue to progress on a few movements.
Despite Kylian Mbappé’s injury, all the attackers responded. Is this important to you?
Quite. We have a large squad, we all play together, we are very, very united this season and that is our strong point. Despite Kylian (Mbappé) having a small injury, we didn’t give up. We all fought together to score other goals. But it’s a little pain, he’ll get over it, don’t worry.
There were four attackers at kick-off and a new system. Did you work on it in training this week and what was the objective wanted by Luis Enrique?
It was not a four-striker system. We have always had this style when Vitinha is there, he sticks the line quite well (left side) and it was a bit the same thing with Bradley (Barcola). It’s always the same style of play.
After the meeting, tell us about these fifteen minutes spent with the supporters?
These are moments of sharing, unforgettable moments. I dreamed of sharing these kinds of moments, especially after such a victory against Marseille. These are moments to live.
