Marc Skinner says his team fear no one as we prepare for the UEFA Women’s Champions League second round once morest Paris Saint-Germain.
After a 1-1 draw in the first encounter, at Leigh Sports Village on October 10, United travel to the Parc des Princes with the aim of qualifying for the group stage of the competition.
Skinner spoke to the press before the game on Wednesday, and you can read key quotes from that press briefing below.
PLAY AT PARC DES PRINCES
“I think we have the experience to play in big stadiums and big matches.”
“We have the ability to adapt and evolve in the game. It will be an exciting match because Paris Saint-Germain will attack us and we know it.”
“We have to make sure that we repel these attacks and that we are up to the task when we attack.”
“I believe in us and I have confidence in us. We go into this game knowing we have to win, so we’re going to do it.”
“I don’t think this team is afraid of anyone, that’s the beauty of it. We excel in situations we should fear and that’s what makes us strong.”
Preview: Sheffield Utd – Manchester Utd
DEFENSE AGAINST PSG
“I think it’s all regarding the team’s defense. Our players must be in full possession of their means. PSG has such an ability to get behind your defense.”
“Their one-on-one ability is exceptional. In the first half of the first game, we weren’t fast enough.”
“In the second half we put in a very solid performance. We have experience of this kind of match and the way PSG plays. We have to defend as a team.”
“We have to concentrate on the individual level because they will create chances, but we also have to use our chances as much as possible.”
APPROACH THE MATCH WITH CONFIDENCE
“I would say we are confident in our abilities. I think if you come in thinking you’re the favorite, you adapt and play a little differently.”
“Our players are very good and aware of their abilities, and they need to be.”
“We will go into this match once morest a very difficult team knowing that we can win it, but we will not put ourselves in the mindset of the favorite. I think this can lead us to rest on our laurels.”
“We are going to go there and give everything to progress. We go there confident.”
