Like last season, Le Parisien invites you to take a tour of the Île-de-France football program. The weekend will be almost entirely dedicated to the 5th round of the Coupe de France with the racing entries of the three Ile-de-France teams of National, Red Star, Versailles and Paris 13 Atletico. The women’s D1 takes a break due to international competitions.
The poster of the weekend: Racing-Créteil
It is the shock of this 5th round of the Coupe de France. Racing CF, 3rd in Group A of National 2, receives Créteil, 3rd in Group B. This will be the penultimate game of this season at the Stade Yves-du-Manoir under construction for the 2024 Olympics where it will host Hockey- on-Grass. The races will then play at the Montbauron stadium in Versailles. Still unbeaten this season, Racing maintains a resounding victory in Évreux (5-0). Créteil have just won the derby against Saint-Maur’s Lusitanos (1-0). The Christian club saw a strengthening of the weight with the return of Ibrahima Seck (33 years old). The Senegalese played three years at Créteil (100 games, 10 goals), two of which in L2. He returns seven years after his departure and visits to Auxerre (L2), Waasland-Beveren, Genk and Zulte-Waregem (P1 Belgium).
Beware of the trap for Red Star and Paris 13 Atletico
The three Ile-de-France representatives of the national team who will play again in the league on Wednesday make their entry into the race this weekend in the Coupe de France. The Red Star and Atletico Paris 13 will have hard-to-negotiate away matches this Saturday to Saint-Leu and FC Mantois, two teams from Regional 1. Heroes of the previous edition with their semi-final in Nice, Versailles will play in Argenteuil (R2) in Sunday.
The hard blow: cruciate ligament rupture for Diego Michel
The verdict fell for Diego Michel, the attacking midfielder of Versailles (National) hit in the knee last Friday at the end of the match in Borgo (1-1). The former Red Star player suffers from a ruptured cruciate ligament. A hard blow for the Versailles because Michel (8 appearances, 1 goal, 2 assists) had proved to be one of the best players on the team since the beginning of the season.
