The Brazilian, who joined the Ligue 1 outfit back in January, believes that Les Parisiens can become one of the best sides in the world
The 30-year-old has no regrets over his move from Chelsea to PSG and is optimistic about his side’s chances in the upcoming season.
While talking to reporters, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international said that although it was hard to leave the Premier League, moving to France was a right decision at that time. Alex stated that lack of first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge was the main reason
behind his departure from the London giants.
"It was not easy to leave a club like Chelsea, but it was time to move on. I wasn't getting as many first-team opportunities as I deserved and I decided to move on,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532 player told reporters.
The PSG defender revealed that the chance to play at a club like PSG and under the tutelage of Carlo Ancelotti was too hard to resist. Alex was also linked with a move to Premier League outfit, Queen Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
The 30-year-old admitted that failure to win the Championelle last season was hard to digest but stated that it’s still too early to criticise Carlo Ancelotti’s side as the team needs at least two seasons to get into a position of challenging for titles.
"When I joined PSG, it was clear to me we would not start winning overnight. A team needs at least two seasons to gel properly and get into a position to challenge regularly for trophies.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, the club has turned into a major footballing power
and Alex knows that how important it would be for Les Parisiens to deliver good next season.
“It's understandable that the arrival of new owners and all the media coverage the team were receiving would get people overexcited, but the players always knew we are in the process of building a foundation."
Paris Saint-Germain will kick-off their 2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign on August 11, when they host http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 at Parc des Princes.
