It’s certainly a big evening that awaits the FCR and its coach Régis Brouard on Friday. It could become historic.

We must use this experience, even if each match has a different story.” And there’s no question of counting on any opponent fatigue: “They had the whole week, and then they proved that they knew how to do it…”
