OGC Nice won their ticket to the round of 16 of the Coupe de France on Saturday evening by eliminating AJ Auxerre on penalties (0-0, 4 tab to 2) thanks to a decisive Marcin Bulka.
The Polish goalkeeper was one of the great architects of Nice’s qualification for the next round in the Coupe de France. Already valuable during the meeting, Marcin Bulka above all showed great lucidity during the penalty shootout won by his team on Saturday evening at the Allianz Riviera.
“I didn’t want to anticipate”
After the meeting, the hero of the evening returned to his performance by explaining his miracle recipe in this exercise. “I stay on my line until the end, waiting to see where the shooter is going to go. I wanted to react a little with my reflexes, I didn’t want to anticipate before because we know today that the attackers wait until the last moment, they watch us so I didn’t want to take an unnecessary step. I think that’s the key”explained the Aiglons goalkeeper in the mixed zone.
Congratulated by all of his teammates after this decisive penalty shootout, Bulka will inevitably be a major asset for OGC Nice for the rest of this competition. “As a goalkeeper we try to do everything possible to distract the shooter. I had confidence in myself, a magnificent audience behind me who gave me even more support. We had nothing to lose, and we won in the end”, he insisted. After this qualification for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, the current runner-up to PSG in Ligue 1 will challenge Stade Rennais next Saturday in the championship before returning to this competition the following weekend.
