Interviewed this Saturday by the newspaper The Team, Christopher Nkunku gave an anecdote about his arrival in the professional workforce of PSG. The 24-year-old Frenchman, who played 78 games with the capital club jersey between 2015 and 2019, underlined the requirement of the Parisian group at the time of his integration. In particular that of his former teammate, Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“One day, it was my first year as a pro. We had a little opposition the day before the match, there was 1-1, there were a few seconds left to play, I wanted to put a diagonal, it went directly to the opponent. It was Edi (Cavani). He put his head up and drank. We lost. The next day, Ibra calls me and says straight in my eyes: “Yesterday, I lost.” I didn’t quite know what to answer him. He was serious, but he was laughing, but it was serious. He made me understand that it was the first and last time he lost a match. Behind, Blaise (Matuidi) came to see me saying: “Here, now you know the requirements of our training. Here, we don’t lose” ” explained the French attacking midfielder, who now plays for Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
