Everything is possible in the Coupe de France. After the demonstration of Puy (N2) against Montpellier (4-0) in the previous round, the round of 16 offered us a new feat. This time, it was a resident of National 3, namely Bourgoin-Jallieu, who took out Olympique Lyonnais (2-2, 4-2 tab). We even saw Paris Saint-Germain struggle (2-4) to avoid penalties against Espaly (N3). Enough to give ideas to the future opponent of the Parisians.
At the round of 16 stage, the defending champion will challenge Le Mans. The Manceaux are not unhappy to come across the ogre of the competition. This confrontation offers them the opportunity to create a real sensation. This is indeed the objective of their trainer Patrick Videira, determined to tickle the reigning French champion. “ There was the idea of drawing a more accessible map because we had the feeling that there were spaces to go further », First admitted the Le Mans coach, currently 11th in National.

They are world-class players but as we have seen, there is always this magic of the Coupe de France. In any case, it is surely the most difficult match to play but perhaps the easiest to prepare for. It will be a party but we are competitors, we will not come to ask them for the jersey. » At least not before the final whistle.
