The electrician and the Ultras will face their PSG counterparts in the cup. I can’t take Mbappé off, we’re playing Bayern soon, says fan

Alexis Zmijak has a big dilemma ahead of tonight’s cup duel against PSG. As a fan and a member of the Paris giant’s ultras, and also a player of the six-league Pays de Cassel, he doesn’t really know which side he’s on tonight.

Imagine the situation. You play in the sixth league for Pays de Cassel, work as an electrician and go to the boiler room at weekends to cheer on PSG.

And suddenly, in the 1/16 final of the Coupe de France, fate brings you together and you have the chance to play against stars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé or Neymar.

the 34-year-old stopper Zmijak has the chance to try how hard it is to stop the players he watches on the stands at weekends. But he has a big dilemma about how to approach the confrontation.

“If Mbappé goes alone on goal, do I take him out or not? I say in my head: ‘Wait, we are about to play Bayern in the Champions League,’ ” Zmijak told Le Parisien.

“I joined CUP (Colectif Ultras Parisiens) two years ago. I wanted to be among the ultras because football is a passion for me. I want to go all out, not just watch the game. When I go to the Parc des Princes, I don’t want to be in the president’s box,” explains Zmijak.

“I don’t have any stress before the game. We have nothing to lose, it’s the game of our lives. And for me personally it’s great to have this opportunity,” adds the PSG ultras.

Injuring Mbappé or any other star would not be the best solution. PSG have four league games to play afterwards and, due to a drop in form, they have only a three-point lead over relegated Lens.

In addition, the Parisians will face fourth-placed Monaco in mid-January and a few days later, on Valentine’s Day 14, they will challenge Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.

Christopher Galtier is bringing a nearly full squad to the Pays de Cassel, with only Lionel Messi and Gianlugi Donnarumma missing from the squad. He also revealed that he will not rotate the line-up too much. “I will field the best possible team,” the PSG coach said at a press conference.
