Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has insisted that the Red Devils’ soaring confidence would help them in their challenge against Paris Saint Germain. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are set to take on the Ligue 1 giants in their next encounter in the Champions League, trailing them by 2-0 from the first leg that was played at Old Trafford.
Speaking on MUTV, the English defender said, “The most important thing right now is that, I know we’re 2-0 down, but we’re so positive and so confident within the team. We have to pull off something special, but I feel that we’re capable of it. I am really positive that we can go there and get a result and get through to the next round.”
He added, “Most importantly we need to make sure we don’t concede, especially early on. I feel if we get one goal then it’ll make the tie completely different. They’ll feel it and it might change the game completely. It’s a long time, 90 minutes, and you never know what can happen if we get that early goal and our confidence goes onto an even higher level. I feel we can do it with the way we’re going at the minute, especially away.”
Shaw concluded, “We just need to defend well and when we get our chances, take them. We did it away to Juventus, a very tough game, and very few people do that, said Luke. We just need to think about the good things we did there and take that to Paris with us. We’ve got such amazing attacking players. Players that can create and players that can score wonderful goals and I’m sure we’ll have a strong enough squad.”
