“I won’t get wet!” “, spear Mickaël Hameau. Asked about his prediction for the match, the vice-president of AS Vitré hesitates for a few seconds, then smiles.

No question of getting wet for the native of Laval. But one thing is certain, he will be 100% behind the Sang et Or, Saturday November 16, 2024, on the occasion of the 7th round of Coupe de France.

In the stands with the family

“I spent part of my life in Mayenne and Ille-et-Vilaine, so this meeting has a special flavor,” begins the customer director at the Lactalis Group.

And at a very young age, Mickaël Hameau experienced the “great years” of the Stade Lavallois. We are then in the 80s. “I remember when I was a kid, I went to the popular stands with my family. »

With his father and grandfather, Mickaël quickly takes a liking to the atmosphere, but also to the game offered by the Tango, trained by an emblematic figure, Michel Le Milinairedied in 2023.

“I remember that there were curtain-raiser matches before the first team,” continues the vice-president of ASV. Almost another world.

We talk about Guy Roux, Gervais Martel and even Louis Nicollin, but Le Milinaire left his mark on Stade Lavallois for two decades.

Under the orders of Michel Le Millénaire, Mickaël Hameau also remembers notable players. This is the case of François Oman-Biyikplayer for Stade Lavallois between 1987 and 1990. The Indomitable Lion scored 37 goals and played more than 80 matches.

Patrick Delamontagnenative of La Bouëxière, also remains in the memories.

“There was a very nice atmosphere in this stadium at the time. There was a fervor around the team. We had a great time with everything rural at the time with the curtain-raising match and the catering between the two matches. »

Mickaël Hameau says he can find this atmosphere at ASV.

The smoke from the barbecues, the discussions about the lineups and the injured, where are we going in a week… I draw a parallel between today and that time.

“A beautiful party”

Today, he continues to follow Stade Lavallois for beautiful posters. “I go to the stadium two or three times a year. The last time was against Guingamp in August. »

Enough to appreciate the Ligue 2 squad. “There are Jimmy Roye, Mamadou Samassaa very good goalkeeper, Malik Sellouki or encore Thibaut Vargas. »

On Saturday, the vice-president of ASV will be able to appreciate them once again, but the “Vitrean at heart” will be well behind his club for this 7th round.

“All the ingredients will come together to make a great party and we hope to be full. We have great confidence in Laurent Hervé and his squad to create the feat. »
