What should OL expect against Feignies-Aulnoye?

A resident of National 2, Feignies-Aulnoye will face OL on Saturday (6 p.m.). Here are the main characteristics of this northern formation.

On paper, the poster looks unbalanced between OL, 5th in Ligue 1, and Entente Feignies-Aulnoye, 8th in National 2. In Valenciennes on Saturday (6 p.m.), Pierre’s men Sage will be widely favorites in their 32nd final of the Coupe de France. But the magic of the competition reminds us every year that the smallest can come out on top after a heroic performance.

This is what the northern team will aim for, which is impatiently awaiting this historic meeting. “It is a fairly young team led by two technicians known in the field: Jean Antunes et Krzysztof Ziecik. This duo works quite well. The club is structured with a president who has a good wallet, but it remains very family-oriented. His goal is to reach Ligue 2 within 4-5 years, even if he takes the time“, confided Thibaut Paquitjournalist at Canal FMIn As long as there are Gone.

The player to watch: Souleymane Diarra

In the squad of the resident of N2, the Lyonnais will have to be wary of some dangerous elements. “We can cite Souleymane diarrheawhich passed through Lens. A creative midfielder who does great things. He has contributed a lot since the start of the season. There is also the captain, Allassane Ouattarawho has more of a Nemanja role Matic in the midfield, listed Thibaut Paquit. The caretaker, Tommy Plumsis very strong on his line, which in the event of a penalty shootout will be important. Overall it’s a good defense. Offensively, there isn’t a striker that stands out, but it’s nice to see him play. They won’t put the bus on, the coaches said. Which could benefit OL.”

In recent weeks, Feignies-Aulnoye clearly had the lead in the Coupe de France, at least that’s what the staff noticed during the two previous championship matches against Balagne (2-2) and Beauvais (2-1 defeat). ). Not necessarily the best way to prepare for the historic confrontation. “The coaches were not very happy because the players did not put in the necessary intensity for this match, perhaps saving themselves for the upcoming clash against Lyon“, indicated Thibaut Paquit. In any case, the Lyonnais will have to be very serious to thwart the northern trap.
