In a city where the event is the talk of the town everywhere, on social media as well as in the streets, the group is nevertheless trying to maintain its balance. No madness, no emotional overload. “We had a typical week in our training. We’re not doing more, not less,” said Gonçalves. A way to stay focused on the essentials, even if the players know perfectly well what awaits them today.
And perhaps more than others, Cédric Gonçalves realizes the significance of this meeting. He was already there during the promotion from National 3 to National 2. He has seen the club develop, grow, and rebuild year after year. Arriving five seasons ago with the idea of participating in the club’s return to professional football, he now sees this dream approaching. “It is my main goal to bring the club back up high. I would be very proud to be part of this team that can do it.”
In his words, there is the attachment of a player who has become a strong face of the Cannes project. He speaks of experience, evolution, the pleasure of seeing the club structure itself over the seasons. But he especially speaks of a collective mission: to offer AS Cannes a new page in its history.
And if tonight brings a smile to the Red and Whites? “Gonçalves doesn’t hide what such a moment would represent. Certainly the best of my career,” he whispers. Everything is said. Coubertin will not just vibrate for a football match. It will vibrate for a dream that an entire club has been waiting for years.
AS Cannes will move up if…
– They win against Saint-Maur – They draw and Nîmes (2nd, 56 pts) fail to win against Limonest
