Ander Herrera - VSPress / SIPA

From our special correspondent in Lisbon,

“Sorry for my bad French. "Ander Herrera leaves his chair after having answered for a quarter of an hour to the questions of the college of French journalists present in Lisbon in a conference on Zoom where the Spaniard shone by his almost impeccable French, even if he will tell you always the reverse. Not the swashbuckling type, the Basque. So don't count on him to disrespect Paris Saint-Germain's next Champions League opponent, RB Leipzig.

Ander Herrera at a press conference this morning: "Leipzig does not have the pressure to win the LDC. It can be dangerous for us because they will be free in the head. We are confident, but we have to be respectful of this team "#PSG

“Leipzig played fantastic football against Atlético,” said the Spaniard, “and yet it's not easy to play against Atlético, I know from experience [he played at Athletic Bilbao]. They have defenders who come a lot with the ball in the middle of the field, we must respect them and prepare the match as best as possible. Even the 8-2 inflicted by Bayern Munich on Barça could not deviate from his next goal in this Final 8 in Lisbon.

I think everyone was impressed after Bayern's result because it must be the first time in history that something like this has happened in the quarterfinals. But we prefer to focus on Leipzig, we can't think about what will happen afterwards. Leipzig is our goal. We are making a very big mistake if we are already thinking about the teams to come. "

Netflix sessions with Juan Bernat

Herrera believes that the East German side will have the advantage of playing with a little less pressure on the shoulders, compared to PSG, for whom the Champions League has been a real goal since the arrival of QSI. “I played in Bilbao, and I know that when you play against the big teams, you don't have the pressure to win the game and sometimes it's good for you,” he explains. We have the capacity and the possibility of winning the half, but you have to know that they will play very free. They are going to be very dangerous. "

Attacking well, defending well and being more realistic will be the keys to the meeting according to the Parisian midfielder. Relax well before, too. “With Bernat we're following I am a killer on Netflix right now. »Surely in VOSTF, to perfect your French.
