PSG/Toulouse – Hernandez opens up: win and game time | OneFootball

Lucas Hernandez, the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defender, stopped by the Ligue1+ microphone after the 3-1 win over Toulouse (PSG/Toulouse video highlights) this Friday at the Parc des Princes as part of Matchday 28 of Ligue 1 2025-2026.

Hernandez: “We’re going to need everyone if we want to try to achieve everything we’re aiming for.”

Collectively, you were impressively in control today?

Yes, good evening. We knew it wasn’t going to be an easy match, especially after the international break. We have players who only got back yesterday. It was important for us to get back into rhythm and prepare for Wednesday’s match. We’re all very confident, and of course we can’t wait for that game to come around. We’re ready.

There’s good squad management? You’re feeling good?

Yes, everyone is involved, everyone is ready. The coach knows that whenever he needs any player, everyone is there and ready to step up. That’s very important for the future because it’s a very long road, and we’re going to need everyone if we want to try to achieve everything we’re aiming for.

Hernandez: “But that’s not the path to follow.”

With less playing time, how do you handle things to at least stay on track?

I simply stay switched on in training. You have to give 100%. Of course, when you’re not playing, sometimes you can drag your feet and show that you don’t want to be there, that you’re upset. But that’s not the path to follow.

I think that if you’re not playing, the most important thing is to show the coach that you’re giving your maximum and that you’re ready to start any match. The coach knows that every time I’m not playing, I give everything in training, and if he needs me, he knows I’ll be ready to step up. That’s what I’ve always done, and that’s what I’ll always do.

What was it like in the United States?

It was long, but honestly good. We have a very good France team and we’re all confident, hoping to be in the final squad in May.
