FC Drouais (Regional 1) will not be favored by the forecasts this Saturday, October 12 (7 p.m.), on the lawn of Montlouis-sur-Loire, resident of National 3. But Robin Moreau’s men intend to play their card bottom to reach the 6th round of the Coupe de France.
Pass or die. These are the only two possible outcomes for FC Drouais, this Saturday evening, on the pitch at Montlouis-sur-Loire (7 p.m.).
Faced with the current 8th in Group F of N3, who came very close to reaching the next level in June, the mission promises to be delicate for Robin Moreau’s men, who do not make qualification an objective major: “It’s a test match for my young players. At their age, you feel strong and coming up against a national level team is bound to be educational,” warns the technician from a Drouais FC who did not have to push his talent to reach the 5th round.
No goals conceded
Successive winner of Châteauneuf (D1, 6-0), Nogent-le-Phaye (D3, 2-0) then Foot Sud 41 (R3, 5-0), the Durocasse club was able to enforce the hierarchy against opponents of its own. scope. Everything he wants to avoid, this evening, against the Indre-et-Loire team, qualified on penalties in the previous round, at Avoine-Chinon (N3): 1-1 (7-6).
“We know what qualifying goes through against this type of team. We must first remain solid defensively and seize the slightest opportunity to make a difference,” observes the technician of an FCD which has still not conceded a single goal in this Coupe de France campaign.
Three Eurelian clubs in the 5th round
A sign of a much more successful journey than that of last season, when the Marines were left ingloriously in the 3rd round of the event, 1-0 at Beaugency (R3). “It’s rather encouraging in that we still have a few injuries, the last one last week with our center back Quentin Lallouet (sprained ankle, before the Bourges match in the championship). And despite that, we continue to remain airtight,” greets the former FC Chartres player, who still has to deal with the absences of Kylian Le Manach (meniscus), Alexis Gambuto (knee) and Ishak Boudaoud (ischio, in the recovery phase). recovery).
Montlouis-sur-Loire (Indre-et-Loire), this Saturday, October 12, 7 p.m.
FC Drouais: Mornagui, Moire – Tellab, Bouzag, Belkasmi (cap.), Martin, Djenane – Delaplanche, Lecellier, A. Boudaoud, Archimbaud, Kerzazi, Amrichate – Kamlichi, Ballo.
