Auxerre full back Gideon Mensah has revealed he is ready for the tough clash against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this Friday, December 5, believing an upset on the cards.
Christophe Pélissier’s side faces a huge challenge as they welcome the reigning champions, who are unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season.
Auxerre had been high-flying with a five-match unbeaten run which included four victories and led them into the top half of the league standings.
Nonetheless, a recent defeat to mid-table rivals Toulouse has left them eager to return to winning form.
“We had a good run of five games without defeat, and then we took our first loss last weekend, which was disappointing for us,” Mensah said in an interview with Flashscore.
“But at the end of the day, we know it’s a long season, so there will be ups and downs. Losses like this remind us that we need to stay focused because anything can happen during the season.”
For Gideon Mensah, there is loads of motivation for big matches and he is fully aware of the challenge ahead.
“I’m very confident against PSG. Most of my motivation comes from playing against top teams. I know it will be a good game for both myself and the team. These matches push us to perform better.”
