The coach said: "This is a match in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, it is a motivating match. We have had an excellent training week, and I believe the team is ready for tomorrow's game."
He added: "We faced Bayern this season, and we know them well. It will be an open match between two attacking teams. I am sure the fans will appreciate that. We want to win and progress in the tournament; this is our clear goal."
He elaborated on whether there is any sense of revenge for the loss against Bayern in November 2024: "For me, it is different. I have no feeling of revenge. Revenge for what? It was just a group stage match. I have no desire for revenge."
Regarding the condition of the pitch, he said: "I touched the pitch as soon as I arrived, and the surface is worse than the match against Inter Miami."
On Bayern's interest in signing Barcola: "We are happy with the interest from other clubs in our players. But we rely on him. He has had an exceptional season. I expect him to play here for many years; and I believe he wants that too. So, I have no doubt that he will remain a player for Paris Saint-Germain."
