Hello guys, we're back today with a new video
and today we're with the one and only Marquinhos
How are you? - All good, how are you?
- The happiest player at PSG! The one bringing the best atmosphere in the locker room.
Marquinhos, you're a top defender
probably one of the best in the World
I'd like to know what the best qualities a defender must have to be an amazing defender are?
- I think that it depends on your own qualities
Your physical build
There are strong, big defenders who can push you off the ball,
there are defenders like me
who aren't strong... - But you still do pretty well!
- Yeah, true (laughs)
So, you need to compensate for not being strong with your agility
your actions and your positioning
there are a lot of qualities that can make you a really good defender
- Right, that's interesting
So what's the advice you'll give to the young players who would like be as good and strong as you
what kind of advice would you give them?
- You need to listen to the advice from people who want to help you
your coaches, and when you're a kid then your father and mother
before being a really good defender, you must be a good person
and be humble, and must search for your objectives and goals in life
no one can tell you that you're not able succed with your goals and dreams
so if you want it, and do everything to succeed, you can do it!
you need to be humble, work hard and even harder
and listen to people with experience
and I think it'll depend on your progress too
- Did you understand? Listen to the experienced ones
and also the old ones - we say 'Amen' to what you're saying
Small question; I'd like to talk about the boots you're wearing
I would like to know, do the boots your wearing depending on the season or the game have an impact on your performance?
Does it change the way you play, or force you to play in certain ways?
Does it have an impact on your performance to play with different boots
- It's hard to answer that question, because I don't change boots that often.
I was playing with Magista, and now I'm playing with Phantom
It's a quality material which can have an influence on your performance
on the control of the ball and the touch
So I'm really happy with Phantom
That's why I'm wearing them and have been wearing them since the launch.
I also think that the studs are important
they can help you sometimes, and studs like this (FG) I use mostly for practice
- Sometimes, do you have the same pair but with different stud types?
- Yes, you have the metal (SG) studs that are more stable
There are softer pitches, so you need more grip and stability.
All of that has a big role when you're a professional player.
- Interesting, wonderful.
- Thank you a lot, thank you Marquinhos for the answers
It will help all our subscribers watching the video
to become better football players.
Your answers are really important, and I even think that they will help some young players to become professionals
- That would be nice!

- Yeah I hope so too
**internal joke that only makes sense in French**
- See you next time, bye
