Paris Saint-Germain is preparing for the Club World Cup final against Chelsea, and Paris player Douai was interviewed about the topic of the Club World Cup.
How do you view the final against Chelsea?
We know that Chelsea is a very good team and we have watched their games as well. They have a lot of great players. We will deal with this game with the same mentality.
How do you feel when someone says you are invincible?
This makes us very happy. This means we have shown a lot of outstanding performances on the court and bring happiness to the fans who support us. This is also one of our goals, and through our football, everyone loves Paris Saint-Germain. It's a wonderful thing, and we'll show the same performance and attitude again against Chelsea.
How to stay down to earth, even though you are considered the best team in the world?
This is a final and anything can happen. Our goal is to bring the trophy back to Paris, which will be the fifth championship of the season. For us, this is also an opportunity to make history. We will do our best to win this game. It’s important to prepare for this final in the same way, just as we’re preparing for other games throughout the season. What is the key to the
competition?
I don't know, I don't have an answer (laughs). As I said, we will face the game in the best way and go all out to win. Because the finals are always special, anything can happen.
Have you realized and discussed what this champion means to you?
This is a very important trophy. This is the first competition and we are lucky enough to participate. It would be a wonderful thing to be able to leave a mark in the first competition.
This will be your fifth championship this season. What does this mean to you?
This means we have won all the championships we can win, which is our goal this season.
As a favorite to win the championship, is this an advantage?
We need to prove this on the field. We are all favorites to win the championship in this event and most of the season. But the most important thing is our performance on the field, which is the key to keeping us in a good position.
You defeated Real Madrid, which owns Mbappe. Did you communicate with him after the game?
I did not communicate with him after the game. But as Ottoman (Demberle) said, it was Real Madrid against Paris Saint-Germain, not Mbappe against Paris Saint-Germain. We are very happy to beat Real Madrid in the semifinals.
This is the first time you have spent a month together for a competition. How do you evaluate this experience?
We have had a lot of good times together. We had the opportunity to go out together and went to different cities and regions in the United States. This is amazing and strengthens the connection between our teammates.
