“Even if it means shaking the nets, let them be ours!” This sentence is signed by the president of FC Espaly, future opponent of PSG this Wednesday (9 p.m.) in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. This poster, historic for the N3 club of Haute-Loire, will be played at the Michelin Stadium in Clermont-Ferrand.
In the den of ASM rugby, the amateur club decided to bring the goals from its Viouzou stadium. The appointment is made at 8 a.m. this Monday morning, where the two cages will be dismantled, with the red and black nets, in the club colors. These will be transported in a semi-trailer towards Clermont.
A sold-out meeting
The Espaly club will take charge of installing furnaces on the Michelin lawn in order to place the goals there. Lionel Vaillant’s players will therefore have the pleasure of returning to “their” goals at the Viouzou stadium on Tuesday evening for their training session and on Wednesday for the historic match against Paris.
Winner of Dijon in the previous round in a stadium with a capacity of 460 seats, Espanly took only an hour to fill the Stade Marcel-Michelin, capable of accommodating up to 19,357 spectators. This meeting against the leader of Ligue 1 and defending champion of the Coupe de France will be played behind closed doors.
