The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 international is relishing the prospect of playing the Champions League in Paris Saint-Germain colours, and is optimistic about his side’s chances in the competition
The 30-year-old has played in the European club competition on a number of occasions with five different teams. However, the Swede has never won a Champions League medal in his entire career, something he wants to change this time around.
Les Parisiens have returned to the Champions League following an absence of eight years, and many believe that the French club could turn out to be the dark horses of the competition.
And http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 has echoed those sentiments claiming that PSG have the ability to go all the way in Europe this season.
While talking to reporters, the former Ajax player stated that not to win a Champions League medal does not bother him much, because he feels that he can achieve that feat with Paris Saint-Germain this year.
"It's true that I've never won the Champions League, but I'm not despairing," he said.
Ibrahimovic added that it was one of the main reasons behind his decision to move to Paris. PSG are a world class team and have recruited a number of players in summer, and they have a great chance of winning Champions League this season.
"I would never have come to this club if I didn't think we were capable of pulling it off. To win trophies, you need big players, but you don't win them on your own.
The 30-year-old said that the fans should back the team in Europe this season. Les Parisiens are blessed with quality players, have a world class coach at the helm, and he sees no reason why PSG can’t challenge for the European glory.
“I want to say to the PSG fans that they should believe in this team. We have a fantastic coach and talented players, and the fans have been hungry for titles for a long time. And our time has come. That time is now."
Paris Saint-Germain will entertain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Dynamo-Kyiv-c39105 at Parc des Princes in their opening match of the 2012/2013 Champions League campaign, on Tuesday, September 18th.
