Almost indispensable and a potential holder in the midfield, he will be responsible for animating the game of the Méfécistes this Sunday.
He walks his “box to box” player profile with constant determination on the green rectangle; at 28, the native of Bruges (33) first settled in Golfech. Since the age of 14, Gaël André has risen through the ranks within the méféciste club to the point of being a leading executive today. Short detour to Meauzac and return to MFC-TG; the player is cantankerous, the man forces doors through his kindness and courtesy. He evokes this match without hiding.
You are part of the executives of this team; what comments does this bring to you?
I inevitably feel invested with a little more responsibility; the important thing is to have self-confidence and communicate it to others. But I’m more of a leader on the pitch than a locker room man. And if we all want to make this match, we should keep calm, keep a cool head and communicate this strength to those around us.
This first 1/32nd final of the Jean Michel Malavelle era is still a big event for a Regional 2 team. Your analysis?
First of all, the first feeling is to offer this event to the city, to the supporters, to the leaders and to the whole club. We are very proud to play at Sapiac; it’s beautiful, it will be a big party in the bowl.
Playing Sapiac in this famous basin seems to you to be an advantage or a disadvantage?
– – No, I see this place as an advantage; there will be a lot of people, it will strengthen the confidence that is in us. We know this match will not be easy, but we are aware of our qualities.
In “La Dépêche” you were recently compared to a former professional named Benjamin Nivet. What does this evoke for you? Question of… hairstyle?
It’s more a question of… hairstyle indeed (the former player of Troyes is also shaved). And it’s more a physical problem than a technical one (laughs).
A prediction!
– I vote immediately for a 0-0 and a victory on penalties!
