Rennes v PSG: Vitinha calls out his team after the defeat | OneFootball

Vitinha, a 26-year-old midfielder from Paris Saint-Germain, stopped in the mixed zone after the 3-1 defeat against Rennes (Rennes/PSG video summary) this Friday at Roazhon Park as part of the 22nd day of Ligue 1 2025-2026.

Vitinha “With the team we have, the level we have, we must always win.”

What happened? Was Rennes above? Were you below? Is it a lack of efficiency?

It's a bit of everything. It's really not the result we wanted, it's clear, very clear. I don't think we played a bad match. As often, we created, we didn't score, well, we only scored 1 goal. And you can feel that. And there you go. We also have to talk about the good match Rennes played. But, even if Rennes plays the match of their life, we must win. With the team we have, the level we have, we must always win.

Vitinha “That's also what triggered it last year, and took us far”

A word on the criticism launched by Dembélé?

There are times when you have to give the ball to the player who is best positioned. That's also what triggered it last year, and took us far. We need to stay calm, we need to talk among ourselves about the things that aren't working.

I know everyone wants to score, but sometimes you have to pass the ball to teammates who are better positioned. I can't imagine anyone only thinking about themselves in this team. But we will discuss it among ourselves to fix what didn't work and be ready for the next match.
