Will the Ile-de-France clubs experience new strong emotions during this edition like the previous one? FC Versailles, then in N2, had reached the last four of the event (beaten 2-0 by Nice) and Linas-Montlhéry (N3) had won (2-0) in the 32nd final against the pros of Angers before losing on penalties in the next round against SC Amiens (L2). If Versailles, already out of the Old Lady after his setback against Red Star after the penalty shootout on Sunday, eleven Ile-de-France clubs dream of imitating them. The draw for the 7th (and also 8th round) carried out this Wednesday at the national technical center of Clairefontaine offered various fortunes to the Ile-de-France residents.
Paris FC (L2), which entered the running, will remain in the Paris region by going to Les Ulis (N3). “We are going to have a great party at the stadium, promises Mamadou Niakaté, the coach of Ulis. We are going to play our luck to the full. We want to achieve the feat to please our supporters and amateur football. “FCM Aubervilliers (N3) won the jackpot with the reception of Quevilly-Rouen-Métropole (QRM), 12th in L2. “I have mixed feelings, says Rachid Youcef, the Aubervilliers coach. We are happy because the goal in the Coupe de France is to come up against top-level teams. Now we would have liked a more affordable draw to have more ambitions. Players have the opportunity to create the feat with a possible trip to Reunion in case of qualification for the 8th round. »
Another Ile-de-France derby will pit Paris 15 AC (R2) against Linas-Montlhéry (N3). FC Fleury (N2), undefeated since the start of the season, with a 2nd place in their group, can see the 32nd finals. The Essonniens will face, in fact, at home Reims-Saint-Anne (N3), a hierarchically lower club, before perhaps receiving the winner of Bondues (R2) – Wasquehal (N2) in the next round.
The Red Star, which is aiming for accession to L2, will go to a team in the antechamber of L1, in Valenciennes. A difficult draw for the Audoniens in the 5th of L2. Finally the match of the 6th round between Marcoussis-Nozay-La Ville du Bois (D1) and Suresnes (R2) should be replayed. The winner will face Le Pays du Valois (R1). The matches will take place the weekend of October 29 and 30.
The draw for the 11 Ile-de-France clubs in the 7th round:
FLEURY (N2) – Reims Saint-Anne (N3), Valenciennes (L2) – RED STAR (Nat.), Oissel (N3) – POISSY (N2), Gallia Lucciana (N3) – JA DRANCY (N3), AUBERVILLIERS (N3) ) – Quevilly-Rouen-Métropole (L2), MARCOUSSIS-NOZAY-LA VILLE DU BOIS (D1) or SURESNES (R2) – Le Pays du Valois (R1), Liancourt Clermont (R3) – PARIS 13 ATLETICO (Nat.), PARIS 15 AC (R2) – LINAS-MONTLHERY (N3), LES ULIS (N3) – PARIS FC (L2).
