Muani: I didn't take advantage of the opportunities at PSG, Enrique is a great coach...

After being loaned from PSG to Juventus, Randal Kolo Muani, French striker, is having a good period, with five goals in six matches.

The new period he is going through in Turin is different from that in Paris: bought for 90 million euros from Eintracht, he never adapted, as he admitted in an interview with the Italian newspaper 'La Repubblica', where he also praises Luis Enrique and recalls the words of... Sergio Conceição.

"A Frenchman at PSG, especially one who cost 90 million euros, is under a lot of pressure, not everyone achieves that. I didn't. I had opportunities and I didn't take them.

"It hurts, but I keep saying: it's football, I don't regret anything," the 26-year-old striker admitted.

"My passion became a job and I had to treat it seriously and professionally because I had too much to lose. But I kept some of my instinct."

"If you don't take advantage of opportunities — and in Paris, I almost never took advantage of them — you don't grow. And on the pitch, if you don't have instinct, you can't take advantage of it," stressed the striker, who also had some praise for Luis Enrique:

"He's very, very good. He's a really great coach, he gave me incredible advice. To have a coach like that, it was a blessing.

"I was the one who wasn't up to par, not him. He gave me the opportunity."

In the same interview, Kolo Muani reveals that Sergio Conceição, who trained the striker at Nantes, had one of the most positive influences on his career.

"He told me things that stuck with me. He told me I was too relaxed and that I needed to work harder because he saw a lot of potential in me. I was naive."

"I did whatever came to my mind when I was on the field because football was fun. Circumstances turned it into something more," he explained.

The Juventus striker also admitted that it took him a long time to recover from the goal he missed in the 2022 World Cup final, which would have brought the trophy to France.

"I know that if I had scored that goal, I would have gone down in history. I have imagined the action a thousand times and how things could have been different. It took me time to recover, but that's football," he concluded.
