Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos insists he is happy with life at the Ligue 1 champions after becoming a first-choice defender under Unai Emery.
The 22-year-old has played in every game bar the 3-1 loss to Monaco since returning from Brazil's triumphant Olympic Games campaign at the end of August.
"A player needs confidence and opportunities. That's the case for me this year," he told a news conference ahead of PSG's Champions League clash with Basel.
"I've been able to play in consecutive matches. At the moment, everything is going well and I'm very good here."
"We continue to make progress in our way of playing, in our balance. We're on the right path," he said.
"Competition in Ligue 1 is very good if you want to go far in the Champions League. We know we have to raise our game.
"We know this will be a very difficult match. Basel put us in trouble at the Parc des Princes [a 3-0 win for PSG]. Not every team can do that."
