Paris Saint-Germain's New Menchevalier was interviewed by the media, and talked about his adaptation to his new owner and looked forward to the upcoming French national derby.

This weekend, you will challenge Marseille at the Verodrome Stadium for the first time. What are you looking forward to?

I can't wait. I've experienced the Verodrome Stadium when I followed Lille, but the match against Paris is definitely different. When I was young, I thought that just that atmosphere was amazing for the players. It was a hostile atmosphere that I admired, and we would go there to fight for victory.

You seem to have adapted to Paris Saint-Germain very quickly. What are the special requirements for head coach Enrique?

The ball is not always in my hands, but more often comes to my feet. This is what the coach asks me.

(Background: Paris spent 40 million euros to sign Schalvalier this summer to replace Donaluma. The club is looking for a "different type" goalkeeper with impeccable skills. Head coach Enrique hopes he can "demonstrate leadership on a spiritual level" because "the goalkeeper can see the entire stadium and all the players".)

From your perspective, what is it like to play with these new teammates?

I enjoyed playing and I said to myself, ‘Wow, this is too strong! ’. If there are more personal performances and more control here than my previous team, playing with them looks very relaxed and you feel confident.
