« We were given a round of the Coupe de France, I do not find that very fair. We will play the match to qualify. But I would have preferred to have the choice of weapons during this meeting so as to be able to make the team we wanted to make « , lamented Thierry Laurey, coach of Paris FC during a press conference.

« Sedan has a big defense, they don’t have to score a lot of goals to win », analyzes the coach who thinks that « in a match, the level between the National and Ligue 2 is more or less the same ».
