Target Golden Ball❗Demberle: This year is great & I want to go further. I m kidding but I should be serious

Demberle was interviewed by Paris and talked about topics such as the Club World Cup and its performance this season.

How does it feel to return to the arena after three weeks of absence?

"Very good! I suffered a little injury while playing in the UEFA European League. The test results showed that it wasn't serious, so I took some time to recover. I could have come back early, but I wanted to get all the feelings back, and now I feel very good."

"This year has been very special for me, both on a team and on a personal level. I joined Paris Saint-Germain to experience such moments. Once you taste it, you want more."

You had a historic season at Paris Saint-Germain. When you signed in August 2023, have you ever imagined that you would have had such an experience?

"Yes, that's what I expected. I joined Paris Saint-Germain for such a moment. The year was excellent on a collective and individual level. It was a wonderful experience, but we wanted to go a step further. Once you taste it, you want more!"

"I'm so happy to be the best player in the Champions League because looking at the players who are participating in this event... are all top players. It's very special when they tell you that you are the best player."

You played a key role in this season

" It's great, a good summary and my best result in the Champions League. Especially being It was very special to be ranked as the best player. I was very happy because seeing the players who participated in this event…

are all top players. It was very special when they told you that you are the best player! I always wanted to have a great season, scored a lot of goals and played a decisive role, and I did it. The coach repositioned me to the No. 9 position, which helped me a lot. The teammates also gave me a lot of support. But I feel my mentality (confidence and mental state) has changed since the beginning of the season, especially in front of the goal. "

You also impressed with your high pressing and defensive ability at the team... Have you done a lot of work in these areas?

"Yes, especially the position, and you have to put in enough running strength to interfere with the opponent's defense, whether it's the defender or the goalkeeper. You can't give them too much time to organize the attack, otherwise the pressing is meaningless. If they have time to pass the ball calmly, they can find players with good positions.

So I do everything I can to not give them even a second to think or pass the ball. As long as the goalkeeper gets the ball, he has to act very quickly if I'm nearby, otherwise I'll be there! Also, I enjoy pressing. It's fun, and every time the goalkeeper kicks off, I'll block it with my feet, yelling at him, ‘Ah, you’re so lucky!’ It’s a real pleasure. ”

Enrique gave you a lot of responsibilities

"When I joined Paris Saint-Germain, he trusted me. He gave me a lot of advice on the court, and also gave me a lot of freedom because he often said, ‘I will ask you to do two or three things, but you have the ability to solve it yourself. ’ I like this kind of free-play role on the court. I can go to the right or the left...we can change positions...I like this kind of position with a lot of freedom. ”

How do you take on the role of a leader?

"In the most natural way, I kept myself. I also talked to the coach at the beginning of the season, and he said that he wanted to set an example for young players and set an example for old players. This is reflected in the court, whether it is pressing or hard work, whether it is defense or offense. And in team life, I am still myself. This is not changed! I often joke with my teammates. Of course, when it needs to be serious, we must be serious."

Can you talk about the connection between you?

"Like a family. We spend more time with this team than with our own family! We have made a deep connection with each other. We have been working together for two years. It's great for the team and increased confidence. Especially in the second season, we have achieved such a great result. It's extraordinary.

We all try to advise each other, motivate each other, and work hard for others. It's important and it does work. We are a family. We have to be united regardless of winning or losing. The coach always reminds us that we are a team and we have to play together, run together, and attack and defend together."

"There are a lot of great games and a lot of surprises in this Club World Cup. We suffered a loss against Bottafogo. If you don't give your all, if you don't run, you will lose."
