While talking to the media, Nancy Lorraine captain Andre Luiz said that he is relishing the opportunity to meet his countrymen when Paris Saint-Germain and Nancy meet in their next Ligue 1 encounter
Saturday night’s Ligue 1 game between Nancy Lorraine and Paris Saint-Germain will offer Nancy captain Andre Luiz an opportunity to meet up with some of his countrymen.
Andre Luiz had the opportunity to meet the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcos-c23772 Ceara before they secured moves to the Ile club and the 32-year-old centre-back is keen on welcoming his countrymen once again.
However, there is one particular Brazilian who Luiz does not know. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Motta-c34897 left Brazil very early and is now a full Italy international. The midfielder recently joined Paris Saint-Germain from Inter Milan and has started settling down well at the club.
“He’s a player who changed little in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 and left for Europe at a young age. I never played against him but I have often see him play on TV. This is a midfielder of high quality.”
While talking about Motta’s decision to opt for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan man’s choice to play for Azzurri as it’s hard to get selected for Brazil such is the talent that the Selecao have.
However, Luiz added that he is not surprised to see so many Brazilians playing at PSG. The defender says that Paris Saint-Germain is a popular club in Brazil and many Brazilians have made a name for themselves at the Ile club.
Luiz thinks that even during the time when Lyon dominated Ligue 1, PSG was the biggest club in Ligue 1 for the Brazilians.
“Paris has always been considered the biggest club in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 in Brazil even when it was Lyon who dominated the Championnat. There is a particular history between Brazilians and PSG. If we manage a big performance against Paris, I know they’re going to talk
about Nancy in Brazil this weekend.”
Judging by their current position, Nancy do need to register a big performance against PSG who are keen on returning to winning ways after a turbulent last week.
