Thiago Silva: “We do not play enough as a team” – BBC Sport

The captain of PSG returned a few minutes on the sad performance of his team, held in check by Montpellier on Saturday (0-0). If he remains optimistic, the Brazilian admits that Paris will face change after the break.

How do you rate this non-match PSG
Thiago Silva: A warm, I am very upset. But take a step back and avoid statements when you are disappointed. This is the case tonight (Saturday).

What has been missing in your team?
I think of all that Liverpool has defended very well . This is a very strong team, very regrouped. This was confirmed tonight. We missed opportunities even if we did not have many chances. We missed our first half. We did not put enough intensity. It was better then. Our second half was better. But with the players we have, we must do better.

We’ll have to come back after the end of the holiday season with a different mentality and clearly a facelift in 2015.

What is currently lacking at PSG
I think we lacked the will tonight but also in our last matches. Everyone is responsible and myself first. We do not play with the notion of pleasure now. We do not play enough as a team. We’ll have to come back after the end of the holiday season with a different mentality and clearly a facelift in 2015. It should also be more concentration. In 2015, it will be more focused on objectives. Be more aggressive on the ground to reach the level we had last season.

What is your assessment of the first part of the season? It
is not really positive. We wasted some points in the league. We must do better. But I remain optimistic. The first two months of the year will be very important for our club.

Does Y has a problem with Laurent Blanc?
All is well with the coach. It is responsible for our current difficulties. The problem is the players. We have a very good relationship with the coach. Working but right now it is worse.

The president Nasser Al-Khelaifi he spoke to you after the game?
No, President did not tell us. Everyone will join his family and take a vacation. They arrive at the right time for us. The truce will be good for morale. We need it
