The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international feels that Les Parisiens are more focused when it comes to the Champions League as compared to Ligue 1 and is hoping that Porto win will kick-start things for the Ile giants
The oil-money-fuelled club from Paris finished the initial round of the 2012/2013 Champions League campaign in great style, winning their group and avoiding top European teams in the next round of the competition in the process.
And http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903, who joined the Paris revolution earlier in the summer, is of the view that PSG are a better team when it comes to Europe and their form in the Champions League is far better than that of Ligue 1.
While talking to reporters at a press conference, the 28-year-old stated that Paris Saint-Germain are more focused when it comes to the Champions League. The Ile giants play with more determination and are more focused while playing against big teams in
Europe and that is affecting their domestic form.
“We are much more focused when we play against big teams in the Champions League than when we play in Ligue 1.”
Silva added that PSG’s European form is indeed impressive but has stressed that they need to play with the same kind of confidence in Ligue 1 as well in order to get their domestic campaign back on track.
“I will be honest; we concentrate much more on our matches in the Champions League. That is not good but it is the way it is."
Talking about Tuesday’s win over Porto, the Brazilian said that the victory has lifted everyone’s morale at the club and is hoping that it will kick-start things for the Parisiens.
"Winning against a team like Porto, will kick-start things for us.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 has echoed his teammate’s sentiments and is of the view that Champions League motivates PSG to large extent. However, the player is confident that Paris Saint-Germain will play with the same kind of attitude in the upcoming Ligue 1 games.
"We are a young team; of course, the Champions League motivates us much more. Today we played at a very good level and I hope that on Saturday we will manage to do the same thing.”
