In 48 hours, RC Saint-Joseph has an appointment with Sporting Club de Bastia for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. The Joséphins continue their preparation and played a friendly match last night (Tuesday December 17) against Evry Courcouronnes. Tomorrow morning (Thursday December 19), the Josephine delegation will head to Corsica.
Friday, December 19, RC Saint-Joseph has a date with history during this match of 32e final of the Coupe de France. A shock against the professionals of SC Bastia that RC Saint-Joseph has been preparing in France since the start of the week.
The first element to manage is acclimatization to the cold, a priority for the group who have increased the number of outdoor sessions at specific times to get used to this climatic element. 8 a.m. and until this friendly match played at 8 p.m., the technical staff wanted to give themselves the means to put their protégés “in the mood” you match
It’s the dream of a lifetime to play against a professional team for amateurs like us, we will have to show a beautiful Saint-Joseph how we have been doing it since the start of the season… I think we will have to put some effort into self-sacrifice and playing together and giving everything and we come out of there torn, tired and without regrets.

Tuesday evening (December 17), RC played a friendly match against Evry Courcouronnes, an opportunity at 6 degrees, to rehearse the ranges, to work on the game plan with a view to the next match against Sporting Club de Bastia.
We had the chance to play against a good team from Evry, great resistance and for us, an opportunity to play with intensity to get in the necessary state of mind for Friday. It remains a football match, against the pros we know that it will not be easy but we will defend our colors, our peyi and our chances.

For the record, the friendly match ended with a score of 2 goals. The group is now focused on the difficult match on Friday. The technical staff is rather satisfied with the production of the week
The players were able to quickly get back into it. After the CO Trénelle match, the first difficulty was a long journey, the transfer and then absolute priority to re-acclimatize to the cold even if we were told that the weather should be more favorable in Corsica. The players are ready, they want to play a big game against the pros, no need to motivate them more. The home stretch will allow us to repeat the instructions and play this match.
Jérémy Ludon, coach of RCC Saint-Joseph
Everything has been put in place with outdoor sessions, respect for recovery periods but also specific indoor work, the group is ready for the challenge of the French Cup.
