President of Vannes, PSG’s rival in the French Cup, hopes “not to make a fool of himself” in the match

Vannes, club of the Championnat National 2 (fourth category in France), will have the privilege of receiving PSG in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France on January 3. Before meeting Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Sergio Ramos and many other figures, the president of the modest institution, Maxime Ray, spoke about it.

From the outset, the head of the entity located in the Brittany region acknowledged that having Paris Saint Germain at home will be a luxury given the weight of the adversary today. “We do not find a team from Ligue 1, but with a club in the top 5 in the world. Against a Ligue 1 team we know there can be surprises “he declared.

In this sense, Ray knows of the enormous gap between one template and another. Therefore, the manager expressed what he expects from the duel. “We have three objectives: don’t make a fool of yourself, hang on as long as possible and make them doubt. But be careful, it is still a football match, we do not see it as a gala match “, he confessed to the newspaper Le Parisien.

Maxime followed and did not hesitate to praise those of the capital of France, who will come with names that intimidate anyone. “There has never been a team in France with so many stars at the same time. You realize that there are Messi, Neymar, Mbappé, Di Maria, Ramos … They may not all be against us, but for Vannes, it is an incredible opportunity to play against PSG, a galactic”, Held.

On the other hand, the president of Vannes said that they want to rise to the occasion not only on the field. In this context, the leader revealed that they met a series of requirements to host the game in their stadium and this meant a disbursement of money that, surely, will be worth it.

“We are planning a nice party. It’s going to cost us a bit of money because we had to solve the parking problem for the Parisian fans, but we really wanted a match like this at our stadium. Somehow we feel like we have won the lottery. We will try to look good in the organization, but also in the field. We hope that the little one knows how to defend himself with courage “, he concluded.
