With the eliminations of Sporting Toulon, Etoile Fréjus/Saint-Raphaël and ES Zacharienne, Hyères 83 FC (National 2) remains the last Var survivor in the Coupe de France. And former Azur et Or striker Daniel Xuereb, who made the draw for the 6th round this Tuesday afternoon on BFM Marseille, sent Karim Masmoudi’s men to challenge FC Istres (N3) in Bouches-du- Rhône on Sunday October 29 at 3 p.m.
Everything but a gift since the Istreens are undefeated in the championship and are in a good second place behind the Montpellier Hérault SC reserve, but with a game in hand. Virtual leader therefore. In addition, the Hyérois will come across veterans of the house like Yohan Mollo or Baba Touré. “Not only that, because there are good players in each line from Cattier, the goalkeeper, to Soumaré [ex-SC Toulon, Ndlr] in defense or Cabon in attack”analyzes the HFC coach.
A great challenge provided you avoid pitfalls such as warnings or expulsions which can weigh heavily in N2 where the protégés of President Nicolas Garrigues are still leaders.
“The goal is to reach 32nd”
“The objective is to reach the 32nd finals, like last season. Firstly to keep pace and involve less used elements like Khaled, Brossel or Gueye. This was the case in Vence where Gueye scored a double . It’s good for an attacker’s confidence. And then the possibility of getting a poster against a professional club is always something attractive for Hyères 83 FC which is writing its young history.”he continues.
To continue its journey, Hyères 83 FC will have to put in a solid match and the good pitch at the Parsemain stadium, in Fos-sur-Mer, could even be an asset in this regard. Answer next Sunday, October 29 at the end of the afternoon.
Until then, there is a good derby to be played at the Louis-Hon stadium against Fréjus/Saint-Raphaël which will also reveal the group’s ability to bounce back after the setback against Alès (2-1).
