Godts full of ambition for France and PSG | OneFootball

Mika Godts, the 21-year-old Paris Saint-Germain and Belgium forward, answered media questions ahead of Monday evening’s Nations League match against France at the Stade de France (kick-off at 8:45 p.m., live on TF1). It was an opportunity to talk about the game, his start to the season, and his confidence for what lies ahead at PSG.

Godts: “They have a lot of confidence in me, so I’m happy to be in Paris”

At the press conference:

A good start to the season?

I’m happy, I played all 3 matches with Belgium, I got a lot of minutes. We played well as a team, and personally as well, so I’m happy. Then at PSG, it’s different. I’m still young, I have to prove myself. They have a lot of confidence in me, so I’m happy to be in Paris with good players. I can become better.

Godts: “I know I’ll reach that level.”

Is it possible to become a starter in Paris?

I know I have the qualities to reach that level. After that, it’s about time. I’ve just arrived in Paris. It’s a very, very big club. They’ve just won the Champions League twice. I’m staying calm, I’m trying to work every day, to be better than all the other players, and I know I’ll reach that level.

Speaking to RTL Sports:

So in Paris, basically at home?

Yes, it’s Paris, but I’ve never been here before (smile). It will be special. After that, I just want to play a good match with the team and win.

Godts: “I enjoyed myself and played good matches.”

Do you want to show things to the Belgians and the French?

Yes, it’s good. I’m building up my minutes, I can show myself in Belgium and that’s the most important thing. After that, they can see how I play and that’s good.

Did you expect to play this much for the national team?

I didn’t really think about that, I came with the ambition to play and to show myself. After that, 3 matches is good. So I’m happy to play these matches and put in good performances.

What’s your overall assessment?

I think it was good. I played well personally and we played well as a team. It’s a shame we didn’t win against France, but they were 3 good matches. I enjoyed myself and played good matches.

Godts: “We’re coming here to take all 3 points.”

Speaking to beIN SPORTS:

What’s the ambition against France?

A lot of ambition. We’re playing well, we’ve had 3 good matches. It’s a shame we didn’t beat France. We’re coming here to take all 3 points.

Does the coach give you freedom or tactical discipline?

He always says I have to play freely, make my dribbles, and stay relaxed. After that, there is advice, especially for defending, and that’s normal.
