The Brazilian international praised les Parisiens’ performance in the Champions League, and has urged his team-mates to perform in the same manner in Ligue 1
Paris Saint-Germain skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903, is hoping that the club can replicate their UEFA Champions League form in Ligue 1, where they have been struggling of late. The Brazilian feels that les Parisiens can turn it around in the league, if they exhibit
the same level of determination that they have done in the European competition.
Les Parisiens not only managed to qualify but also topped their table following their victory against Portuguese champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186. The game proved to be a thrilling encounter between the two sides that ended in PSG’s (2-1) victory over their visitors.
The Brazilian international feared that they might not be able to perform well in the game, but was delighted following their win. He said:
"To be honest, I was not thinking the match could go as well. It was not good from us, but we are more focused when we play big guns like Porto than modest Ligue 1 sides."
Despite their dominance in the Champions League, the Paris-based club is still struggling domestically. Following a string of poor results, PSG have been knocked out of the Coupe de la Ligue, and are currently placed 4th in the Championnat. With
their manager, Carlo Ancelotti, under increased pressure by the club owners, the Italian is desperate to revive the team’s form in the Ligue 1.
The newly-promoted captain also came to the manager’s rescue saying that the players need to improve and display the same level of performance in the league. The 28-year-old said:
“We have to be more concentrated every day at training and in every game. We can't expect Ibra to hand us the victory each and every time. This is not how it works.”
The center-back believes that Ancelloti is the right man for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, provided that the team follows his strategy accordingly. He defended the manager’s ability while stating:
“We were playing with four forwards. It shows that we can do well if we all give our best and apply the coach's orders.”
