Former Super Eagles star, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has made some revelations.
He said: “PSG is a club that really touched my life and raised the bar for me. In 1998, I was approached to join PSG and I can say that my former club Fenerbahce made it difficult to leave.”
“The club made it difficult because I just renewed my contract with them for three years. So, they didn’t want to release me to PSG.”
“For me, I see the contract as a lifetime opportunity and PSG as one of the best clubs in the world. So, I was interested and I had to leave for PSG even before the negotiations ended.”
“I can remember joining PSG without pre-season training and I did not immediately play until the fourth match.”
“I was on the bench against Bordeaux and we were losing by 0-1, five minutes to the end of the match, the coach, Alain Giresse, called me to play and I scored a fantastic goal.”
“After the goal against Bordeaux, the club knew that I was ready for the challenge.”
“While I was at PSG, I played alongside great players like Ronaldinho de Gucho, Nicolas Anelka and the present manager, Mauricio Pochettino, among others.”
“I had a great experience at PSG and that is why till today, I am one of the ambassadors of the club and I feel so fortunate.”
