“We have no excuses to make”

Baptiste Ridira (DFCO coach): “It’s a very, very big disappointment. We missed out on our match in the first half, particularly in a match that was within our reach. Everything was depicted in advance and in the end, we fell into the trap. In several ways: in the control of emotions, on their capacity to be solid, to hurt us in transitions… We did not achieve this serenity and we got into difficulty on our own. At half-time, I told them that I was not proud of my team, in the second half, I was happy with their reaction, but I was disappointed with the lack of rigor we showed once We took the advantage. In terms of energy, courage and solidarity, Espaly, unfortunately for us, deserved his victory. They played the perfect Coupe de France match. I'm not going to talk about the field, because tonight, we have no excuses to make. »

Quentin Bernard (DFCO defender): “We are disappointed, especially compared to the first half. We're not going to lie, there are matches like that, Cup matches, every year. The pitch was disgusting, they did nothing to have a pitch worthy of a football field. In the first half, we were behind on almost everything. Technically, it was complicated. What’s annoying – and I’m going to look further than today – is Varg’s (Hugo Vargas-Rios) red. We already don't have Jo' (Married, suspended three matches), we're shooting ourselves in the foot for the restart. Strangely, it was with ten people that we were the best, that we played better (…). That's the magic of the Coupe de France, but when it falls against us, it sucks. »
