Carlo Ancelotti has given the armband to the 28-year-old for the upcoming season and the Frenchman is hoping to guide his side to glory next season
Paris Saint-Germain performed brilliantly in the pre-season friendly game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 this Saturday, during which Christophe Jallet captained the side for the first hour. And in post-match press conference, coach, Carlo Ancelotti announced that the
former Lorient man will skipper the side in the upcoming season.
While talking to reporters, the 28-year-old expressed his delight at being given the opportunity to lead his star-studded side.
The experienced right-back, who can also operate in the midfield, has set his sights on helping PSG win the Championelle next season and progress as further as they can in the Champions League.
"It's a true honour to be the captain of this side. I hope that together we can take PSG as far as possible. It will be a true joy."
The former Chamois Niort player admitted that he was surprised when the coach gave him the armband as he wasn’t expecting that at all. Jallet stated that it’s a great honour to be captaining a team with so many great players in it and it’s a sign that the
bosses at the club have confidence in his abilities.
“We had talked about it a bit, and it's great because it shows that the coach have confidence in me. I never imagined I would be in this position. I am very lucky to be where I am.”
Paris Saint-Germain missed out on the Championelle last season as they were pipped to the title by Montpellier. And, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christophe-Jallet-c9179 admitted that the Ile giants were wasteful on so many occasions last season that cost them in the end, and is hoping to
avoid that this season.
The Frenchman added that Paris Saint-Germain have performed well in the pre-season games and are in good shape to start the campaign.
"I know that as a team we'll try our hardest not to waste the opportunities we have and put together a fantastic season as a solid team."
Paris Saint-Germain will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 in their opening fixture of the 2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign.
