Alex: We need two seasons to gel properly

Paris Saint-Germain FC defender Alex believes the French side can be a major force in European football.
 
The Qatari owners have expended close to €127m on players since taking over the management of PSG.
 
Alex joined PSG in a transfer deal worth €5.1m in January admits the club needs sometime to achieve the dream of the owners.

 
He said: 'A team need at least two seasons to gel properly and get into a position to challenge regularly for trophies.
 
'When I joined PSG, it was clear to me we would not start winning overnight. It's understandable that the arrival of new owners and all the media coverage the team were receiving would get people overexcited, but the players always knew we are in the process of building a foundation.
 
'European qualification is an achievement.
 
'I'm sure the fans are delighted we're going to be playing in the world's biggest competition. Some of the most memorable moments of my career took place in the Champions League, like when PSV made it to the semi-finals in 2005 and almost knocked AC Milan out. I am relishing the prospect of more European nights.
 
'But I have faith – we have a chance to build something special.'
