[gossip board] Gartier talks about his goal for the second half of the season: the most important thing is to stay happy and stay motivated.

December 24-the Ligue 1 match will resume on December 29, Beijing time, and Paris will usher in the game of Stratburg at home. Before the match, Paris coach Gartier also gave an interview to the club’s official website, in which he talked about the team’s goals in the second half of the season and his expectations.
Coach, how do you feel with the recovery of the season?
Gartier: “good!” Because obviously, this break reinvigorated us and refreshed our minds, but it also kept us very focused and allowed us to focus on watching the wonderful World Cup. This World Cup is a great success. I was lucky to stay in Doha for a few days and watched a lot of games. I saw that it was a well-organized World Cup with a high level and a lot of surprising teams and players. So this is not only a time for me to rest and enjoy family reunion, but also a time when I can see some very high-level games and pay attention to many international players participating in this World Cup. ”
The break is also an opportunity to make a preliminary assessment of the season. What’s going on with the team?
Gartier: “We looked back at the first few months and it is clear that with the use of the team, the change of organization, the change of leadership, we are always trying to improve.” We want to focus on what happens in the second half of the season. But we want to look forward to what will happen in the second half of the season. This assessment was made with great humility. We did very well in the first half of the season, especially in the league, we played very well. ”
“We have improved game after game and the team has scored a lot of goals, but we have to correct some minor mistakes. On the whole, I am satisfied with the development of the team, the evolution of the team and our game. ”
“then there is the Champions League, where the whole group stage is played in a very short time. We didn’t lose, we played interesting games and made progress. The two draws against Benfica are exciting for the team because it takes us to a higher level instead of staying on what we have been doing. In terms of games, goals and points, we did well in the first half of the season. ”
Can we say that the new season is about to begin?
Gartier: “in more than 20 days of holiday, we have done a lot of work, which is a new beginning for everyone, although I know that we are one of the clubs with the largest number of players in the World Cup.” The new phase of the season will begin soon. Against Strasbourg on December 28 and Lance on January 1 are two very important games and we now have to get into the preparations for the game. ”
“We have done a lot of physical preparation and a lot of technical work. This is the first time our coach has a six-week break and the players are very busy in international games. But we have pushed our minds to the limit and put the players at their best immediately after their return. ”
There were two friendly matches during the break and everything went well.
Gartier: “against Paris FC, we played 30 minutes each in the first half and the second half to find the rhythm of the game.” Against Queville Rouen, we played a full game and increased the workload of recovery. The game is very intense, but the goal is to find our location and contact, and to see the young players at work. They did well in these two games, which is a good sign because we need to have a lot of players in the second half of the season. What I saw made me feel at ease. But I know that my players will soon find the right feeling and physically, we are ready. ”
What should we expect from the team in the second half of the season?
Gartier: “I’ve been looking for ways to improve and find other ways that can surprise opponents and help us get better in some games.” You always need to look for ways to improve, but there won’t be much surprise because we did very well in the first few months. ”
What do you want to do for the rest of the season?
Gartier: “I have only one goal, and that is to be happy.” I have been in Paris for six months. I like the team and the players. I hope I can spend the second half of the season as I did in the first half of the season, full of desire, determination, motivation, energy and a lot of fun. ”
