Vitinha: "I want to play 100 or 200 more matches!" | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha, who reached the 100-match milestone with the club this season, takes an emotional look back at the highlights of his two years in Rouge et Bleu. He hopes to stay with the club for as long as possible!

Paris-Lens: 3-1 (Ligue 1, April 15, 2023)

'It was a long-awaited goal! Everyone wants to score, even the defenders. We don't have the same opportunities as the strikers, even in midfield. But at some point, you have to be able to score and make that difference. It was my first goal, and I was happy to score it at the Parc des Princes. The moment was important too, because I felt good on the pitch.'

1/100 - His first match

Paris-Nantes: 4-0 (Champions Trophy, July 31, 2022)

'I remember that first match well. It was in Tel Aviv, and it was the best way to start. It was a great win, 4-0, with a trophy to boot. It was different from what I'd experienced before, because my team-mates were at an incredible level. I was surrounded by the best players in the world, and I was starting my career with PSG in the best possible way.'

41/100 - His first goal

Paris-Lens: 3-1 (Ligue 1, April 15, 2023)'It was a long-awaited goal! Everyone wants to score, even the defenders. We don't have the same opportunities as the strikers, even in midfield. But at some point, you have to be able to score and make that difference. It was my first goal, and I was happy to score it at the Parc des Princes. The moment was important too, because I felt good on the pitch.'

15/100 - His first Classique

Paris-Marseille: 4-0 (Ligue 1, September 24, 2022)

'There's always a great atmosphere at the Parc des Princes, but in a Classique, you feel a difference. Just like in the Champions League. These big matches are always special moments. But I knew before I came here that this rivalry is very strong and very important. I'd already experienced that in Portugal. When you play these matches, you have to give it your all, and then some! I'm very happy to have won my first Classique. It was beautiful!'

85/100 - His first goal against OM

Marseille-Paris: 0-2 (Ligue 1, March 31, 2024)

'These moments in a season are truly memorable. I'll remember that goal for the rest of my life. There have been many important moments in my career, and that was one of them. What's more, we were down to ten men against eleven for a long time, and we managed to score twice. Winning away from home, in those conditions, and in Marseille on top of that, was special. And even the goal, I don't score like that very often. I get the ball back, we go on the counter-attack and it all happened really quickly. It was a great goal, and an important one.'

54/100 - His passing game

Paris-Dortmund: 2-0 (UEFA Champions League, September 19, 2023)

'Sometimes it's a goal that saves a match, sometimes it's an assist. But this time, against Dortmund, I think this move was the reward for our game. I'd played a complete game, and it was important for me to keep building up my confidence and feel even better on the pitch. Matches like this are like confirmations for me, for the team and for the fans too.'

88/100 - Decisive goal

Barcelona-Paris: 1-4 (UEFA Champions League, April 16, 2024)

'The most important thing in a match is simply to score. I think I had some good games before and after the one in Barcelona. But when you're decisive in a match like that, you attract a bit more attention, and that's normal. And I can't hide the fact that this will stay in my memory forever.'

78/100 - His versatility

Paris-Real Sociedad: 2-0 (UEFA Champions League, February 14, 2024)

'I think I'm comfortable playing in all midfield positions. Whether it's deeper or higher up or box to bo. I feel comfortable there. It's true that I wasn't expecting the coach to change things up, but it happened. He gave me a few instructions and we managed to score two goals. It was a match that changed things a bit for me. So I stayed a little deeper, in a holding role, and I feel good in that position, which shows on the pitch. I like building up the game, starting from a deeper position and working my way up the pitch. And even from that position, I've managed to score goals. It's not really what a No.6 is there for, but I can do it!'

48/100 - His first league title

Paris-Clermont: 2-3 (Ligue 1, June 3, 2023)

'A title is always a title, it's always something important. And I don't want to miss out on any of them. It was very special, it was my first league title, and I don't want to stop there. I want to keep winning trophies.'

100 MATCHES!

'I'm now on 100 matches, and I want to play 100 more, even 200 if possible. I've already experienced such am,azing things here, with highs and lows. But I want to keep going for as long as possible. If possible, only the highs! I know there will be more difficult moments, but I'll be here too! Playing 100 matches in two years is already a great achievement, it means that I'm playing, that I'm playing one match after another, and I want to keep up the momentum.'
