PSG defender, Thiago Silva has said his team is not seeking revenge when they face Rennes in the Trophee des Champions.
PSG are set to face Rennes in China today, hoping to win the trophy for the seventh consecutive time.
Rennes shocked the world by defeating the Ligue 1 champions in the Coupe de France final but Thiago does not see this game as revenge for their pain that night.
His words, “No. Of course it will be important to win this match and start the season with a trophy,” the defender told the club’s website.
“Rennes are a very good side, physically, technically and mentally. They showed that at the Stade de France. On Saturday they will be ready.
“They are an intelligent team. We want to be ready for this match and the season. There’s a title at stake and it’s very important for us and for the club.”
On new signings, “I hope they will settle in quickly,”
“First of all, we will sit down and have a chat about everything, and then we’ll listen to them sing for their initiation. That will help them feel a little more comfortable with the squad.
“It’s important. I sang very badly when I arrived at the club, but the most important thing is to feel part of the squad, to feel comfortable.”
On outgoings, “I want [Neymar] to stay and I’ve told him what I think of the situation, it’s clear for me,” Mbappe told the media ahead of Saturday’s match.
“He’s an important player here and I want him to stay.
“I left a lot of doors open after my speech at the UNFP awards. It was not the right place for that, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to steal the show from other players. I want to win titles, it’s in my interest and that of PSG.”
