Coupe de France (7th round). Milizac (N3) – Dinan Léhon (N2): 1-1 (3-2 for Dinan Léhon on the tabs)
Clearly, the eighth round of the Coupe de France is refused to Milizac. As in 2019, as in 2021, Saint-Pierre will not continue the adventure beyond the seventh round. However, captain Killian Uguen’s teammates have the feeling of having put all the ingredients they were able to present to achieve this. Many people within the club were overcome by the feeling that it was finally going to be this year. But again against Dinan-Léhon, again after a draw (1-1) and again having been behind in the score, Milizac came up against a more experienced opponent in the Cup courses, undoubtedly also a little calmer in the management of the penalty shootout.
Boulic: “I saw a great Miizac team”
“Obviously there is disappointment at not passing,” breathes coach Yohann Boulic. But I enjoyed it because I saw a great Milizac team. In the second half, we were better physically and tactically too. With the number of situations we created, we might be frustrated to come out of this match 1-1. There is pride in coaching this team, we played the match we wanted to play. We showed a good image of the club but the Coupe de France has been fleeing us from the seventh round for some time. » “We have a big, big second half,” says Uguen. We deserve to win this meeting. It’s a shame, it’s frustrating. To reach this eighth round, we really aren’t missing much! »
The pill was more complicated to swallow for Bernard Segalen, who said he experienced his “biggest disappointment” on Saturday since he was president of Milizac, i.e. 2011. “It’s sport, but we could make history in the club. We will recover from this, we have the level even if it remains a big disappointment. In the second half, there was only one team on the field and it was a miracle that they passed. I say congratulations to all the players and staff because what they showed us was nice to see. I still think we’re going to have trouble falling asleep. » Milizac will have another meeting in a year with the Coupe de France. A historic eighth round still in sight, obviously.
