It has almost become usual for ES Thaon-les-Vosges, the club which every year reserves its great epic in the Coupe de France. The last Vosges representatives in the competition will face Amiens, during the weekend of December 21 and 22, in order to secure a place in the round of 16. A Ligue 2 team, known absolutely by heart at the Sayer stadium, since the Thaonnais had beaten her to everyone's surprise two years ago, before falling 1-0 last year.
No outpouring of joy
An opponent and a poster, on paper attractive, but which now no longer really hold any surprises for the club and the supporters. So much so that there was no real outpouring of joy this Monday evening, during the draw. “We tend to say: either we take a big Ligue 1 team and it's a party, or we take an affordable team and we try to qualify, and there we have a sort of in-between, it's like That“, confides defender and captain Wilfried Rother. It must be said that among Thaon's potential opponents were Lille and Lyon. “We would have preferred to take a Ligue 1. Now, we will take what we are given. It's going to be 3 times that we play them: we beat them once, they beat us the second, we hope that the third will be for us. But on the other hand, we don't mind it at all“, adds Nicolas Clasadonte, the president.
