The Palois therefore had to wait for the final whistle of this Ligue 1 club match to know the verdict. And above all knowing where they should move… It will therefore be in Lille, the logical winner of Troyes 2-0. A prospect that does not make Joël Lopez, sporting director of Pau much happy.
“Playing away means it’s not a good draw. Like all other clubs, we wanted to receive. As long as he moved, there were perhaps more convenient opponents. The Coupe de France is above all the pleasure offered to its audience, and the possibility of hanging a club of a higher level at home. It is above all the fact of not having the right to what disappoints me. This draw isn’t very exciting, but it is. I’m the killjoy, but an L1 out is the most complicated thing that can happen to us. You will necessarily have to create an exploit”.
A tempting OM – Rennes
Marseille – Rennes, i.e. 3And of L1 do au 4Andwill be the main poster of these 16eg French Cup final. Rennes, who sent off Girondisn de Bordeaux convincingly on Saturday night. There will be a total of three matches between elite sides at this stage of the competition as, in addition to OM – Rennes, Brest host second-placed PSG Lens and Toulouse take on AC Ajaccio.
PSG has been very good and will travel in an amateur team. But the Parisians will still have to wait before knowing the identity of their opponent, who will be Reims Sainte-Anne (N3), Wasquehal (N2) or Pays de Cassel US (R1). Reims Sainte-Anne (N3) and Wasquehal (N2) will in fact first have to replay the match of the 8th round, interrupted after a fight on the ground. The winner will then play his 32And final against Pays de Cassel US, the outcome of which will determine the future host of the Parisian ogre in the 16And of final.
