The Italy international said that Sunday's defeat against Lyon might be good for his side in the long run, as it has given them a chance to reflect upon what they are doing
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu branded his side “s***” after Wednesday’s 3-1 Coupe de France victory away to Saint-Etienne.
The French champions were pushed hard by their hosts, but goals from Edinson Cavani, Marquinhos and Lucas Moura guided them to a victory that keeps alive their treble hopes.
PSG lost their first match of the domestic season last Sunday when they went down 2-1 to Lyon, and when asked if there is reason to be anxious, the Italy international responded with an answer dripping in sarcasm.
“We’re rubbish. We should ask ourselves questions, because until now we’ve really shown ourselves to be a s*** team,” he retorted.
“We are going to finish the league season with 37 unbeaten instead of 38. It’s going to be difficult, because we’re playing the end of the season with nothing to win.
“I think we will win at least the league championship - unless we lose all out matches and Monaco win all of theirs.”
After this response, he did answer the question in a more conventional manner.
“Sometimes when you lose a match, it does you good,” he said. “It makes you reflect and gives you a desire to bounce back.”
