A stroke of brilliance from Udol for Deminguet was enough for the happiness of FC Metz this Friday (1-0). Facing Raon-l'Étape (National 3), the performance of the Moselle midfielder allowed the Grenats to take the advantage and hang on to it until the end of the match in order to validate their ticket for the 32nd of the final of the French Cup. Present at the microphone of our colleagues from Républicain Lorrain at the end of the meeting, the FCM coach, Stéphane Le Mignanreturned to the film of the game.

« These are either matches that we make easy by quickly scoring a second goal, or we are left with uncertainty until the end. The main thing is done, all the ingredients were there to make it difficult. The pitch was very heavy, it's a stadium where you feel an atmosphere too and this Raon team had a superb second half, they embarrassed us. As long as we don't manage to score this second goal, we are at the mercy of a deflection, of a set piece with their athletic striker who had a very good match up front. We find ourselves with this end of the match a little tense, fortunately we pass […] The players' state of mind is very good, from the start we saw that we were very involved in this match. It's a bit of what we might fear from time to time. We fought until the end, this Raon team threw all its strength into it until the last second. It was important to see how we approached this type of meeting, and I think we are in the right direction in relation to that. In terms of the game, it's always difficult to learn from Cup matches. »
