Blocked in Paris to prepare for the PSG handball season, the French international will live with intensity and hope the semi-final of the Ligue d


A key player in PSG handball, Nedim Remili is also an unconditional supporter of PSG football. The international tricolor is even a regular at the Parc des Princes where he likes to meet in the heart of the Auteuil stand. After having trembled and then exulted on August 12 during the stunning scenario of the quarter-final against Atalanta Bergamo (2-1), Remili expects to experience great emotions again this Tuesday evening for the duel in the semi-final of the Champions League against Leipzig.

Where do you plan to follow the semi-final of PSG this Tuesday?

NEDIM REMILI. For the quarter-final, we met with other partners like Mathieu (Editor's note: Grébille), Niko (Karabatic), Elohim (Prandi) or Dylan (Nahi)… Unfortunately, we missed a few moments of the match because of bad connection. This time, we will not take any risks, we will go to someone safe, probably to Luka (Karabatic), so as not to miss anything. I will have the jersey on me, I just have to take the right one to be like the players on the pitch.

Do you have a prediction for this match?

This is not a prognosis but I want a victory for PSG, whatever the way, whether it is on penalties or by 27-0. I don't care how we win, but I want us to win. After that, it would be good for the final to be played against Lyon, it will put things in their place, as Kylian Mbappé wrote on social networks with the “Farmers League”.

You are someone you eh! Daaamn! 🔥 🥵 https://t.co/4O8SYi0JN3

Are you more serene than facing Atalanta?

It is true that I was not well. They played high and prevented us from expressing ourselves fully. But when Kylian entered, they jumped 20m back. But above all I liked the attitude of the players. The team has always been strong, ready to take up the challenge. The players showed great strength of character. It's important to have that mindset. At this stage of the competition there are no favorites, no small teams, no luck. There are just 22 guys on the court going to run around, twice as much as usual.

Is it finally the right year for PSG?

What is certain is that we are already in the half and therefore a little closer to the final and a victory. I am very optimistic for the future of the club as a whole. We feel that he is progressing every year and strives for excellence.

Too excited to put on this special jersey for the 50 years of PSG! 🤩😍 @ psghand @PSG_inside pic.twitter.com/xu8vpwIBif

It's even a subject of conflict between us because we have Spanish partners, so we have them a little room (laughs) . We gave them the change of their coin. We weren't able to all get together to watch the games but we talk about it in training. We belong to the same house, to the same entity. It is also for this aspect that I like this club.

How is the handball pre-season going?

It is a real pleasure to be back on the field after the period we have just experienced. We give ourselves a lot, maybe more than usual, we are so happy to meet again. Usually we moan, we are still reluctant to do certain exercises, this year it is not the case. We can not wait to play our first match now, even for a friendly match ( against Nantes on August 28 ). We know we are lucky to do what we do.
