‘I thought it would be easier’ – PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opens up on Ligue 1 | OneFootball

PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24) had admitted that Ligue 1 was way more difficult than he previously thought upon his arrival from Serie A side SSC Napoli during the winter transfer window. The Georgia international winger faced the press on Tuesday on the eve of PSG’s Champions League Matchday 5 clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

The title holders would want to bounce back after suffering their first defeat of the continental campaign three weeks ago against FC Bayern Munich. Kvaratskhelia added that PSG’s second half against the 10-men Bayern team was very good, and they nearly restored parity. “Now we have the opportunity to start winning again.“

According to Kvaratskhelia, this current version of the PSG team is stronger than the one who defeated Tottenham on penalties for the UEFA Super Cup. “It will be more difficult for them“, adds PSG’s No. 7. The former SSC Napoli winger has also said he thought that Ligue 1 was an easier league that it turned out to be. “But it’s very difficult; there’s physicality and speed, it’s one of the best championships in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Those who say it’s easy are wrong.”
