Intro:

Paris Saint-Germain and Guingamp prepare for their French Super Cup clash in the Chinese capital, Beijing, on Thursday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (French) Serge Aurier, PSG:

"Yes, ideally I wanted to start my season with PSG with a trophy. To be honest I haven't won any trophies yet. So if I can get my first trophy with my new team on Saturday, that will be fantastic."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Salvatore Sirigu, PSG:

"The game on Saturday is decisive. We want to begin the season well as same as last season when we won the Trophee des Champions. The first game of the season is always very difficult. It is a trophy and we will do our best to win it."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Claudio Beauvue, EA Guingamp:

"We know the match against PSG is going to be very difficult because they have a good team. We are still in the preparation phase before the new season right now. On Saturday, we are going to try our best to beat PSG. It is a trophy to win and we can win it in just 90 minutes so why couldn't we do it? I think we will surprise everybody in the game."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ronnie Schwartz, EA Guingamp:

"I think it is a big achievement that the team was qualified to the Europa League this season. We are looking forward to the group stage, hopefully six good matches, and hopefully we can qualify for the next round. But it is going to be difficult. But I think it is a big achievement for the team."
