At 3:00 am on June 1, Paris Saint-Germain will play against Inter Milan in the Champions League final. Before the game, Paris defender Marginhos attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of himself and the team.

Emotional Management in the finals

- Enrique plays an important role in the team. Since he came here, he has not only made efforts in physical training, but also made great efforts in emotional management, which has made the game achieve the results we want. Looking back at our performance this season, we can see the efforts he has put in. This week, he had a lot of conversations with us. We are ready. We long for victory, and we long for it.

About Dembele's role

- He knows his role, and he is one of the leaders of the team. This season we've seen him take on his role brilliantly, on the court, you know his abilities. I'm glad to be playing alongside such a smart player, but it's not just Dembele, the overall strength of the team is key.

About the fun of playing football with this team now

- Many people compare the years I spent here. The current team is full of fun and has a tacit understanding with each other. I have a lot of love for this team.

How to face this final?

—This time the situation was different (compared to 2020), and the environment changed, and there were no audiences at that time. In fact, there is no secret: have a good meal, have a good rest, and communicate more with your teammates on the day of the game. In terms of details, we are ready. The competition starts at 9 pm, don’t put too much pressure on yourself and keep a good attitude. I believe every player will do his best.

Pressure about Paris Saint-Germain

—The club knows how to deal with such challenges. Over the years, a lot of work has been done, both the team and the management. We have a great coach who prepares us well. Even though the team is young, we are ready for this game.

About facing double strikers

- We have been training this week and we are ready for every stage of this game. We know what to do, and there won't be much change. It will be a great match, Inter Milan has their philosophy and we have ours.

About the importance of writing history

-I have been here for a while, many things have changed, and the team is growing. We have experienced great times and tough times. Tomorrow we have the opportunity to create great achievements for the club, and I don’t want to miss this opportunity. All the players are very motivated and it takes a lot of effort to reach the Champions League final. We are at the best of the season now and we are going to do everything we can to bring the trophy back.
