To motivate the troops, Cédric Deubel, the FRH coach, did not have to strain himself. The prospect of an exploit is sufficient in itself. That of a possible qualification for the round of 16 as well. But that’s not all! This 8e of final would allow to accommodate neither more nor less than the 3e of Ligue 1!
Finally, the Haguenovians would happily make the Dunkirk club pay for its attitude since the match was postponed last Tuesday. Namely the request for a match won on the green carpet, daring to consider that the FRH failed in the organization of the event and, failing that, to obtain the reversal of the match.
When the Federation maintained the 16e final in Haguenau, the Northern club reacted again in these terms on its website: “We strongly doubt that the home club will be able to guarantee a passable pitch and adequate conditions for the smooth running of the match.”
Episodes more than enough to increase your strength tenfold in the hope of erasing the two divisions gap.
