“I feel better and better”
On the eve of the match on the lawn of PSV Eindhoven, for the third day of the group stage of the Europa League (Thursday at 9 p.m.), Alexander Nübel was in a press conference. Extracts.
He pulled off a very great game and postponed the deadline for a long time. Saturday night in Lyon, Alexander Nübel certainly had his best meeting since his arrival on the Rock by stopping many attempts in the Rhône. If this earned him the title of MVP obtained by the fans on the AS Monaco App, it was unfortunately not enough to avoid defeat (2-0). But the goalkeeper loaned two years by Bayern Munich wants to repeat this kind of performance in order to help his team. Starting with this Thursday (9 p.m.), in the Europa League, on the lawn of PSV Eindhoven.
I did not doubt my choice, I always looked forward. The start was not easy, but I feel better and better in training, which is very important to translate all this into a match.

Its start of the season
It’s sometimes complicated to discover a new country, a new championship, to immerse yourself in a new culture, but now I’m more and more confident and I hope it will continue like this. I had to discover my new teammates, with the language barrier. But things are getting better and better. I am in any case impatient to play this game here, the atmosphere will be very good.
His departure from Germany
I did not doubt my choice, I always looked forward. The start was not easy, but I feel better and better in training, which is very important to translate all this into a match. I registered even more during and tried to keep a cool head, which is very important for a goalkeeper. But I haven’t changed a lot in the way I work.
The discovery of Ligue 1
There is not one chosen in particular that surprised me, but it is obviously one of the five biggest championships in Europe. There are very good players, very good young people. It’s a clearly a little different league from the Bundesliga.
Learning French
I’m learning with a teacher, but pronunciation is quite complicated for me at the moment. I hadn’t done French at school so I started from zero, but I’m progressing slowly. I understand some words, so I hope that in the next few months I can speak a little more in this language.
