LIGUE 1 - Marquinhos designates Club Brugge's strongest point
As for almost every Champions League match, quite a lot of people descended on the press room of Club Brugge, but it was extra busy on Tuesday. Although that makes sense with an opponent of the caliber of Paris Saint-Germain. On behalf of the star ensemble, Marquinhos took place behind the microphone.
The Paris captain underlines the importance of the first group match, which PSG hopes to win convincingly. But the Brazilian also emphasized that it will not be easy. He was especially impressed by the physical qualities of Blauw-Zwart. "The match against a confident team like Club Brugge is of course important. We want to take points, but we will have to fight for it, because Club is a physically strong team," it sounded.
Marquinhos was also there two years ago when the Parisians came to visit Jan Breydel. The French then won that match with clear 0-5 figures, but the defender/midfielder still remembers a difficult first half. "We did win here then, but that was a difficult match. Club Brugge showed themselves bravely and they ran a lot. Especially in the first half they got us in trouble."
