For Amateur Football and Kop Ouest, Laurent Davidthe Herbiers coach, spoke about this Sunday's Coupe de France match against the Girondins de Bordeaux.
“The rest of the competition? Quite honestly I don't think about it. There is no need to have “Bordeaux in mind”. We have once again demonstrated that everything is possible in the Coupe de France. I'm just happy that we can enjoy an extra round in this great competition and of course we will do everything to try to go a little further. »
Then he returns to his match with Les Herbiers, who took out AC Ajaccio.
“The end of the match is a bit of a crazy scenario. Overall, I think it was a logical qualification, even if we were surprised by a set piece in the first half. We had some very interesting situations. The turning point was surely the saved penalty, because with two goals behind it would have been extremely complicated. It sometimes has this quite magical scent in the Cup, which means that in stoppage time we manage to score and get a penalty, to score again and qualify. The team did not give up. There is the mental, but also the physical, which proves that the team was well prepared too. Then, afterwards, it's the scent of the Cup, it's only in football that that happens… It's the most beautiful competition that can exist in France, you have to be able to honor it, and the “The players went to great lengths to offer our supporters a qualification.”
In the end, he still mentioned the match against Bordeaux, which will take place on Sunday.
“It’s a very nice poster. There are likely to be a lot of people in Bordeaux. You shouldn't just think about that either, each thing in its time. But we want to try, like two or three years ago, to get through this round to try to get into Ligue 1. But it will be a difficult match, it's up to us to prepare well. Bordeaux is a high-sounding name, but Bordeaux is also with us in National 2. It will be up to us to do things well to try to get through this round.”
