After a great underperformance, this Tuesday in the Champions League (1-2 defeat to Manchester United at Parc des Princes), Paris Saint-Germain welcomes, as part of the 8th day of Ligue 1, Dijon Football Côte-d’Or Saturday evening at 9 p.m. This match is expected for the Parisians who will present themselves once again decimated by many absences. On the Dijon side, Moussa Konaté, a 27-year-old striker, will make his first appearance with the Burgundy club after his arrival from Amiens. He spoke in the media of his new club about the upcoming match at the Park.
Konate “We know it’s a good team”
We are professionals, we only live for football. Today, whether it’s Paris or another team, I will have to integrate as quickly as possible, to give the maximum. PSG may be revenge, it’s true. But it can also be a good thing for us. They will want to reassure themselves, and we are going there to seek a result. This week, Paris has not been at the top in the Champions League, but we know that it is a good team. “
It is always an event when you join a new team. The desire to prove, to give the best, is often expressed by new players. Konaté will start with Dijon against a “sick” PSG. He knows that Paris will want to redeem itself after its failed match on Tuesday night. But as new, he’s hungry. He seems not to set limits and seeing PSG as the first opponent is always an additional motivation. He knows it, Paris will have to prove things this Saturday, but for him it doesn’t make a difference, you have to try to win. Not losing would already be an excellent result, winning would be a consecration for Dijon, which is struggling in last place in Ligue 1.
PSG will be deprived of at least 6 players, with 4 uncertain and Thomas Tuchel could leave Presnel Kimpembe (25-year-old central defender) and Kylian Mbappé (21-year-old striker) on the bench to give them a boost. Dijon would be wrong to deprive itself of such a context to try to overthrow the dolphin of the championship. Paris, will not have the right to miss, he knows he is expected and Thomas Tuchel, appeared tense at a press conference, knows he is in danger in the event of a bad result. This promises a committed match as the stakes are high.
