Paris Saint-Germain coach Antoine Kombouare has stated that his team delivered a quality performance in their narrow 1-0 victory against Saint-Etienne.
A solitary goal by Mathieu Bodmer was enough for PSG to brush aside Christophe Galtier’s side, and climb to the top of the Ligue 1 table ahead of second-placed Montpellier.
The former Valenciennes trainer hailed PSG’s ability to pull together and cooperate to show passion, aggression and spirit.
“It’s huge what happened tonight,” the coach is quoted as saying by L’Equipe after the match.
“It’s a big satisfaction. Not only we delivered a great footballing performance, but also one of the mind: we were combative, aggressive, feisty.
“It was a complete showing. I liked that the players managed to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty when the opponents were making their final stance.
“When everyone pulls in the same direction, we reap the fruits of our labour. Their vacation is earned and they will come back with the idea of ​​finishing the job.”
PSG return to Ligue 1 action on January 14 against Toulouse at Parc des Princes.
