Final against Lyon. Parisian defender Nuno
Mendes (name)
In an interview with the media, spoke about the significance of the final and the team's preparations.
Nuno Mendes said, "It's a title I haven't won yet and we'll do everything we can to win the trophy on Saturday. I think that's the most important thing, the Coupe de France is one of the most beautiful trophies in France, a bit like the one I won in Portugal, and I really want to hold it."
He continued, "The team is in good shape, we've trained well and there are two more training sessions before the Coupe de France final, so I think we'll be ready for this game."
Mendes spoke about rivals Lyon: "It's a nail-biting final and we know Lyon will give everything in the game, but we also intend to do everything we can to win. We've played them twice this season and won both times. But this time it's different. Those two meetings were in the league and this time it's the final. They have worked very hard to get here and I think we will end the season with a great game."
Mendes also shared his status, "I feel great and am doing everything I can to be at my best. The only thing I'm looking forward to now is the French Cup final."
