“The little smile I had at the draw had nothing to do with the quality of the opponent. We had very little chance of receiving. For that alone, it’s a draw that pleases us, explains the Ardennes coach, Hervé Papavero. We will work to gather information and we will prepare this match as seriously as possible to get through this round. »
Bogny-sur-Meuse FC, for its part, was really unlucky. Victorious over another R1 team, Cormontreuil, in the previous round (0-0, 4-2 tab), Cédric Guillaumin’s players will travel to Thaon-les-Vosges (N3). Vosges who did the job seriously against CS Sedan Ardennes in Dugauguez (1-4).
For the Bognysian vice-president, Vincent Laurent, “It’s the worst possible draw, the one we feared the most, and we got it. It’s a big disappointment because it will take us a very long journey, against a great team, a Cup team but it’s still a match, even if we know it will be very difficult. We will have to make the magic of the Cup speak for itself but we believe in it, there is only one division difference. »
