PSG v Angers: Ruiz happy but mindful of the tough times

To kick off the second day of the French Ligue 1 championship, Paris Saint-Germain hosted SCO Angers at the Parc des Princes (1-0 video highlights here). In the mixed zone, Fabian Ruiz, the 29-year-old midfielder and sole scorer of the match, reflected on this victory.

Ruiz: “We’re still lacking a bit of rhythm.”

Difficulties against this low block? “It was difficult to score against a team that defended so deep. But I think the team tried. We had several chances. The important thing was the victory, it’s the third match of the season. We’re still lacking a bit of rhythm. Still having physical difficulties? We haven’t trained much, but I think we’re in a good dynamic, we’re improving physically, and little by little, I think the team will get back to its best level.”

Ruiz: “Happy to have given this victory to the team and to celebrate it with the fans.”

A successful return home, with a goal? I’m really happy to be able to play again in front of our fans at home, after last year’s fantastic season. Let’s hope this season is just as good. We know how important our fans are to us. The stadium is always full, it’s incredible, and I’m very happy to have been able to give this victory to the team and to celebrate it with the supporters.”

An important win for PSG, who are still in full preparation after last season, which seemed endless. For confidence and momentum, it’s always very important to string together victories so as not to fall behind the main competitors in the league.

In their first two matches, despite being physically behind, PSG have shown great dominance and strong pressing. This is obviously very promising for the rest of the season.

Until the start of the Champions League in mid-September, the capital club should take the time to build up their strength. Last season’s experience also proved that the most important form is in January/February, so there is time to fine-tune what needs to be fine-tuned.
