Intro:

Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc says a one-month prison sentence for Bastia striker Brandao following his headbutt on PSG's Thiago Motta was "excessive".

Script:

SOUNDBITE (French) Laurent Blanc, Paris Saint-Germain manager:
"I don't think that he (Brandao) will really go to prison for one month, I think rather that he will do community service. I think that it (the sentence) is excessive."

SOUNDBITE (French) Laurent Blanc, Paris Saint-Germain manager:
"We don't know how tomorrow's match will be. We know what we want to do, we want to take three points. We respect a lot the team from Nice, but we need points. So Claude (Puel, Nice manager) will certainly tell his players that they have nothing to lose here in Paris and that maybe the best way to take points is to play (i.e. attack). We will see tomorrow."

SOUNDBITE (French) Laurent Blanc, Paris Saint-Germain manager:
(On striker Edinson Cavani and other players that have been struggling to score).
"Regarding his physical condition, that boy, since he arrived in Paris... he's a phenomenon. He is working a a lot, even more than others maybe because he has an incredible build. Wherever he plays, on the left, on the right, in front (of goal) - he is scoring. He will certainly score even more in Paris, and we are lucky to have someone on this level who scores. We have two players that are scoring a lot, and I hope that other players will show themselves and will start to score too."

SOUNDBITE (French) Laurent Blanc, Paris Saint-Germain manager:
"I can tell you that I see Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) working hard; he is conscious that he is a little bit behind due to his injury. He is about to make up that lost time. If he doesn't have other physical problems, I think we will see soon Zlatan from last year."
