Vitinha: Mendes is a left-back, I hope he can beat Olise; Bayern is very strong overall

Hupu News November 03 Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha attended the pre-match press conference against Bayern Munich.

Vitinha is very happy with the return of Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz.

"With the return of Joao and Fabian, the team is almost back to full strength, which feels great. No matter which midfielder comes on, we are ready."

What do you think of the game against Bayern?

"The performance on the court is more convincing than what we said at the press conference, but yes, we and them are the two best teams in Europe. Bayern is in excellent condition, and so are we. We played very well overall and continued the momentum of last season."

Vitinha revealed that Marquinhos has been smiling since winning the Champions League.

"He is indeed very happy, you can see it from his face. We are also happy for him. He has worked hard for a long time to win, and fortunately we did it.

He is still the leader of the entire team, which can be felt from his words and performance. We have an excellent leader and an excellent player."

Does Paris expect a complete victory in the Champions League group?

"We are all very eager to face this type of game. We want to win a few games in a row and strive for the fourth victory (Swiss Round). This will be a tough game for both sides."

He praised Harry Kane

"He is one of the best players in the world; his statistics every season are amazing, and the start of this season is even more amazing. The statistics are amazing. But Bayern is first and foremost a team with both offense and defense, and their integrity cannot be underestimated."

Reassured about Dembele's form

"Especially at this level of competition, you always want to play with the best players. He is a Ballon d'Or winner, which is of course better, but whether he starts or not depends on the coach.

I can see that he is in good condition, he has been training, and he is in a good mood. I hope he can make it to the game. It would be even better if he can start the game."

Vitinia said excitedly, excited at the thought of this game.

"Just like in the Club World Cup, every space in the stadium is a one-on-one confrontation, and the game will be very stalemate. Both teams are eager to possess the ball, which will be very interesting.

Also like the Club World Cup, the outcome of the game will depend on some small details, so the game will be very intense. We can't wait to play."

Vitinha hopes to further consolidate his voice in the team.

"I need to continue to play a leadership role. As vice-captain, I work hard to control the game, communicate with my teammates, and try to be one of the leaders of the team. I still have a lot of room for improvement."

Praise to Nuno Mendes

"He is in great shape and has started the season well. He makes my job easy. A lot, he is an excellent player.

In my mind, he is the best left back in the world. I hope he can beat Olise, because Olise is also an excellent player."

Vitinha is not worried because he has been asked by the media many times whether the Paris team lacks a certain spirit of realism.

"Some people have already discussed this issue last year; last season, many people asked us whether we lacked efficiency, had too much possession of the ball, etc., but in the end, the ship will be straightened out when it reaches the bridge."
