Lucas Hernandez spoke about his adventure to the PSG, his role in the team, and the expectations for the new season.
“I’m very happy. It is true that this is something I’ve been looking for for a long time. And now it has finally happened. I always wanted to come here and it’s true that it’s a very special day for me to come here with this ambition, is something I wanted for a long time. So today’s the big day and I’m happy to be here.”
“Above all the desire of this club, which is an ambitious club, which wants to win the biggest and most important trophies. I’ve played for Atletico and Bayern. These are equally ambitious clubs. But it is true that, from the outside, Paris Saint Germain is a club that has wanted to do great things for a long time, and I think that all these good moments and great moments will come hopefully with me here.”
“I’m someone who always wants more in my life, in my career and that’s why I’m joining this club, to try and achieve my goals. I was born here in France. After two or three years, my brother and I, moved to Spain, with my mother. It’s true, we’ve never lived in France. But every time we come back here, whether it’s with the national team or for a weekend, it’s a beautiful city, it’s the capital of France and I’m very happy to be here.”
“And I can’t wait to start training and get on with it, play matches. I’m here now, I’m very happy. I’m going to give my best here, I’m going to give it all. I want to be part of this family and lift lots of trophies. And I’m going to do everything I can to get everyone together and try to do great things here with Paris Saint Germain.”
Private Life and Injury
“And you’ll see, everyone, all the supporters, all the Paris fans will know that I’m someone who will give everything for this club. My whole family comes from here. My whole family lives here. It’s also something I’ve been looking for, to be able to get a little closer to the family. I’ve been living on my own for a long time now. And it was the right time to come back here and get close to my whole family.”
“A big injury like ligament rupture is never easy. It’s already been seven months since I suffered this injury. Right now, you can rest assured that I’m in 200%. I can’t wait to get back to work with the team and from day one, be at my best. My knee is fine. And frankly, everything is going very well.”
About Kylian Mbappe and Presnel Kimpembe
“They’re my friends. Kylian and I have been talking a lot lastly about how to get here. And yes, I’m very happy to be here and as I said Kylian and even Presnel, I hope to win many more trophies and very important titles here at Paris Saint Germain together.”
“I’m joining a very, very big club with very big players, and it is true that I’m still young. I still have things to learn and I’m here to learn. But above all, as I said at the start, to try to win as many titles as possible.Because that’s what motivates me, titles. I play to win and I’ve come here to try and win everything. I’m here to do my utmost, for the team, for the staff, for the coach.”
“And it is true that, at the moment, if the coach needs me, either on the left or in the middle, I’ll be there for him and above all for the team, of course.”
The stadium and the fans
“It is an incredible stadium. Especially for the fans. When you see it from the outside, it is pretty impressive. So when you play for them, I think it must be even more motivating. I also come here, to play in this stadium, for these fans. It is unbelievable when you see it from outside, the kop, it’s just crazy. I can’t wait to get started, to get back with the club and play for Paris Saint Germain at the Parc des Princes.”
“Dear Paris fans, I’m delighted to be here with you. You can rest assured that you have a warrior on your team and you have a new player who will always give his all for this shirt and who will give his all until the end”
