PSG star opens up about settling in and the club’s project

Olga Carmona, the 25-year-old left-back from Spain, signed with Paris Saint-Germain this summer from Real Madrid after 5 seasons. A major signing for PSG and a significant change for the Spanish international, who opened up about this new chapter to the newspaper Le Parisien.

Carmona: "I felt it was time for a change."

“How do you feel in Paris? I’m delighted! I feel very confident. It’s a new team and I’m gradually getting to know my teammates better, adapting to the system, to our style of play, which is a bit different from what I knew in Spain, but I’m very happy. (…) I was also very happy at Real Madrid, but it had been 5 years and I felt it was time for a change.”

Carmona: "We had a few days to reflect, to be self-critical"

How would you describe the team today? We haven’t had very good results, especially in the last match, but we had a few days to reflect, to be self-critical, and above all to correct our mistakes. We managed to change our mindset to move forward and to properly prepare for the match against Real Madrid. We have a new opportunity, a very important one. A dream for this year? To win a title! And if I can do it with Paris Saint-Germain, I would be very happy. Giving back to the club the trust they have placed in me is very important to me.”

Of course, changing clubs is never simple. Even more so in another country, with a different language and culture. It takes time and nothing is set in stone. There are many factors involved. For some transfers, everything goes very well. For others, it takes a bit longer. Naturally, the collective environment plays a role.

Arriving at PSG this summer is not the easiest, with a new project, a team to rebuild, and confidence to restore. It’s very different from what Carmona experienced at Real Madrid. But that’s also the appeal of a new challenge. The Spaniard’s experience and qualities should greatly help PSG.

We hope that will be evident tonight against Real, a very strong team against whom a positive result would do a lot of good. At the very least, it will require a strong collective performance, confirming the shift mentioned by the left-back.
