“You don’t have to think, you have to act and have fun”

Jonathan N’Sondé Forward: “Don’t think about it”

We must try to approach this match without pressure, even if we know very well that it is a great team which plays the various European championships. We must realize that we have a chance to play against them, to show ourselves, to wear the colors of Vannes with pride. With the desire to create the feat, why not! The goal is to win. But faced with players like that, you have to not think, you have to act. If we think too much, we’ll get out of the game. Must play and have fun “.

It is an immense pride, especially for me the child of the club, to play against Mbappé, Messi, or Neymar, it makes dream. I spent 17 seasons at the club, it is something great that does not yet realize. Frankly, I can’t wait to be there. After that, it’s 11 men against 11 men, we have all our chances, we have to put our cards on the table and play them thoroughly. Go the VOC! “.

We are all competitors so obviously we approach the match hoping to win it. Then we are realistic, we know it’s going to be very hard, but you never know, anything can happen. On the pitch, I will try to ignore the issue, the public and play the game normally. We know that it will be special because they are extraordinary players opposite, but I will approach the match calmly “.

We do the same training sessions. The motivation, it will come by itself because the players, we do not need to motivate them to play PSG. I think that if we spend our time just defending it will be complicated, so I insist on the use of the ball and see how we can make these Parisians run. Maybe at this time of year they will run a little less because they took a vacation. We know that we cannot compete technically and in terms of speed and power, but in a 90-minute match, we will have to hold on as long as possible, the objective is not to take 3-0 after 20 minutes. It is not because it is Mbappé, Messi or Verratti that we cannot titillate them. We must respect them of course, but look them in the eye
