On the eve of PSG's League Cup Last-16 clash with Nancy at the Parc des Princes, PSG coach Paul Le Guen talked about his side's ambitions in the competition.

Paul, how important is this match against Nancy?
"We're the defending champions and we want to go as far as possible this year. Why not win it? But it's true - I've said it before, and I'll say it again - our main focus is the league. But that doesn't mean we're not taking the other competitions seriously."

What's your squad for the Nancy game?
"Cearà is out, because he's got a bit of pain in a hamstring and I don't want to take any risks. Otherwise, it's the same squad as Sunday, minus Cearà and Maxime Partouche who are replaced by Clément Chantôme and Fabrice Pancrate. Apart from that, Edel will play tomorrow in goal because Mickaël Landreau is struggling a bit with his shoulder. Mickaël could play and will be on the bench, but I don't want to take any risks with the goalkeeping position."


What are Apoula Edima Edel qualities?
"Edel is a good 'keeper who has impressed since he joined the club. He was excellent last season in CFA and we decided to promote him to the number two spot. He has a great potential, is always improving and has an irreproachable comportment."

Will you be looking to a bit of squad rotation in the coming games?
"We've got a lot of games coming up with Sunday then Wednesday and then Saturday. So yes, I will be rotating a few players. I try and use the whole squad in the most effective manner, in leeping with the objectives more or less realistic. I think we can find the right balance. It's also good to be playing regularly. It does have its advantages."
