Early this morning, Paris defeated Nantes 1-0 in the first round of Ligue 1, and Lucas Hernandez was interviewed by the media after the game.

Lucas said: "It's really not easy. After a long summer and the Club World Cup, although our physical fitness has not fully recovered the pace of the game, we are fully prepared. It is important to score three-pointers in the first game of the season. Now we have a full week to prepare for the next round of the game."

"The opponent is bus? It's never easy to face such a low-post defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, but the most important thing is to bring back victory. We return to Paris with three-pointers, and we will improve our pass control level and physical fitness through systematic training."

"Personal goal? It's clear - this is the World Cup year. I want to do my best to repay the trust of the coach and deliver the best performance on the court. This is destined to be a long and important season, especially for players who are determined to be selected for the 23-man roster, we must welcome the World Cup in the best condition. We have a fantasy lineup, which has proved last season. The team remains enterprising in the new season and continues to win trophys for Paris. The league is the foundation and we must do our best in every game. All opponents aim at us. All we have to do is turn difficulties into easy and win more games."
