It's a little wink which, for fans, means a lot.
The last training session for Espaly, Tuesday at the Marcel-Michelin stadium in Clermont on the eve of the long-awaited round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Paris Saint-Germain, will be held with the real goals of the National 3 team It's an idea supported by President Christian Perbet, since it was necessary to install cages on this usual rugby field anyway.
-Perbet: “It’s the soul of Viouzou”
“We had to find a solution, confirms the manager to our colleagues from France 3. We preferred to bring ours rather than find impersonal goals. These goals have sentimental value. It is the soul of Viouzou which will influence the Michelin. We thought our players would be reassured with the goals they are used to.”
The transporter Frédéric Sevin expressed his pride, since it was he who took care of ensuring the journey on Monday in a semi-trailer. Jacky Malige, another member of the club's management, goes even further and hopes that these goals will take the club to the final at the Stade de France: “We need to have a little something of our own at the stadium. One day , we will say that these goals will have been useful against Paris Saint-Germain.”
