Daniel Nadalin is co-president of the L’Union Saint-Jean club with Jérôme Sudriez. He talks about the funny adventure that his club is experiencing just before its meeting against AS Monaco in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France.
President ! 48 hours before the match, what is the state of the troops?
I see them clearly. The players are already fully into it, we have a coach who is great for that, to put their ideas in place and the players buy in! That’s the most important thing, they work well, they listen and they are fully engaged. We are left with two defeats in the championship, but I understand them, they already have this match in mind, no one wants to get injured or take cards, but this is just happiness.

Then what can we say about this emulation around the club?
She’s great. The two cities of Union and Saint-Jean have done a magnificent job, notably thanks to the merger of the two clubs. There are no rivalries and it linked, brought together these two clubs to get us there! Now it’s just happiness, seeing everyone unite around this club, it’s already a huge victory.
A Stadium that is already half full, is that part of the adventure?
Some Ligue 1 clubs are struggling to make 25,000 entries so if we, as Little Thumb, manage to make 20,000, that would be extraordinary. This is simply the magic of the Cup, and everything it brings! We say why not! Why not Little Thumb will eat the big one. We are here to have fun, enjoy the moment and why not dream. It was already an achievement against Versailles, now it would be… I don’t even have the words and I don’t know if we really think about it. We want to live in the present moment and not skip steps.

Yes because they deserve it! I am so happy for these young people, I imagine myself in their place, and I tell myself that it would have been immense happiness and I feel it in them. They are united and it is an adventure that they will never forget, they are linked. So yes it moves me because it’s just beautiful and they deserve it.
