The 50-year-old is not afraid of Paris Saint-Germain and feels that his side has what it takes to beat the Ligue 1 heavy spenders

However, that could all change on Friday, when Le Téfécé travel to Parc des Princes in their next league match.
However, Alain Casanova believes that his side can beat Les Parisiens, and added that the players are ready for the challenge.
While talking to reporters, the former Le Havre player stated that to beat a team like Paris Saint-Germain, Toulouse need a solid game plan if they want to achieve something out of that game.
The 50-year-old said that playing their natural game against Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be tough as they have a number of quality players at their disposal, but added that he won’t get intimidated by that.
"I won't pretend that we can go to Paris and impose our natural game.”

“Paris are superior to us, but we're well aware of the fact that, we'll just go there to play the best match we can,” the 50-year-old told reporters.
The former Les Pitchouns player added that if TFC play with confidence and belief, they can beat any team in the league.
