Paris FC/PSG – Pierre Lees-Melou, ‘Ending against Paris is magnificent’ | OneFootball

This Sunday evening, Parisians were experiencing the final derby of the season. Paris FC hosted Paris Saint-Germain for the last Ligue 1 match of the season. And after a soporific match, it was the home side who snatched victory right at the end, winning 2-1 (Paris FC/PSG video highlights). Pierre Lees-Melou, the PFC midfielder, spoke to Ligue1+ about their win on the night.

Pierre Lees-Melou: “We absolutely must not think we’re already on vacation”

Did you have to do something exceptional tonight to close out the season?

The coach had warned us—he didn’t want us to be on vacation already. And he didn’t let up at all in training this week; we worked like crazy. He wanted us to finish well, and I think that’s what we did, with the perfect ending to go with it, so it’s cool. For a first season in Ligue 1, I think we’ve had a pretty good campaign, and above all, finishing against Paris is magnificent.

Was there also a desire to stamp your authority a little?

Yes, exactly, we absolutely must not think we’re already on vacation. He really insisted on that, and we fully bought into it. We tried to press high, and it worked.
