The Paris Saint-Germain assistant coach believes that the Parisiens can go all the way in the competition after seeing his side cruise past http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 last night
Despite playing with several fringe players, PSG put in an impressive performance against archrivals, Marseille at Parc des Princes, and sealed their place in the quarter final stages of the competition in the process.
Although there are still doubts over the penalty awarded to PSG from which http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 opened the scoring for the hosts, it was a great performance from the Ile giants nonetheless. Carlo Ancelotti’s side outshined their opponents in every area and deserved
to win in Paris.
Paris Saint-Germain assistant coach and former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international, Claude Makelele, is pleased with the Ile giants’ performance against Les Phoceens. While talking to reporters, the 39-year-old said that it was a wise decision by the coach to rest few
players and it paid off.
Makelele added that PSG started the game very well and they reaped the reward for that in the end with a place in the next round of Coupe de la Ligue.
"We started very well, we really made an excellent start, the coach rested players, but the team that played last night stood up and deserved to win.”
Paris Saint-Germain are set to face AS Saint-Etienne in the next round of the competition and the Frenchman is wary of the threat Les Verts pose. The 39-year-old added that ASSE are in fine form at the moment and have been playing really well this season
and can cause PSG all kinds of trouble on the pitch.
“Saint-Etienne is not an easy draw. They play good football and have made a good start to the season and are in good form at the moment. It will certainly be tough, but we hope to qualify.”
Claude Makelele feels that Paris Saint-Germain have what it takes to go all the way in the competition and is eyeing Coupe de la Ligue glory for the Parisiens.
“In the Coupe de la Ligue, there are only three games until the final and we can do it. We have to give it everything to win it."
