PSG/Monaco – Zakaria delighted: “We’re happy to have turned it around” | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain hosted AS Monaco in their fortress, the Parc des Princes, on Friday evening for Matchday 3 of Ligue 1. And for their first home game, the Rouge et Bleu, dominant, quickly opened the scoring. Unfortunately, a more sluggish second half, lacking precision in the final actions, allowed Monaco to level the score and then win 2-1 (watch the video highlights). Denis Zakaria, Monaco’s midfielder and captain, looked back on the match on Ligue1 Plus microphones.

Denis Zakaria: “We knew there was a way to do something against this PSG side”

Tell us how this match went.

In the first half we spent a lot of time chasing the ball, but in the second half we managed to turn the match around. We knew there was a way to do something against this PSG side. We’re happy to have turned the game around and taken all three points tonight.

How did you motivate Camara (who was supposed to leave)? Tonight, we could feel he was really in the game.

Yes, of course, there’s a bit of frustration for him. But above all he’s a professional, he plays for the team. We were able to talk with him and tell him that if he kept performing like that, he would get other offers, and even better ones. He’s turned the page and he’s focused on Monaco.
