The HAC will not play the 32nd final of the Coupe de France. The Ciel and Marine were ejected from the competition by Chauvigny, a formation that is playing three divisions below them, this Sunday in Châtellerault, in Vienne. The decision was made on penalties. Boutaïb and M’Bemba saw their attempt rejected by Caillaud, heroic throughout the afternoon.
Not at all the charm of the Coupe de France. Paul Le Guen
The chauvinist goalkeeper has multiplied parades as decisive as they are spectacular, literally disgusting Le Havre, victims also, and once again, of their lack of efficiency in the finish. To the credit of Ciel et Marine, the ground, on which a meeting had already been played the day before, was in a terrible state. Greasy, bumpy and sandy.
“We had opportunities, especially in the first half, which would have allowed us to get out of this trap. We weren’t able to put on even one. It is extremely disappointing, but I find that it is not at all the charm of the Coupe de France, thunders coach Paul Le Guen. I’m not saying this because I was beaten. It’s still incredible to play on a field like that, in such conditions. I think the players have made an effort to try to pass. I’m far from saying that we played the game we had to play, but we put a lot of heart into it. We tried to ignore these elements. We had a lot of favorable situations, but we did not set the goal that would have delivered us. “
QRM last survivor
After three disappointing results in the league (1 d and 2 n), this elimination confirms the delicate period that the Le Havre are going through. A reaction is expected next Friday in Grenoble, facing Isérois humiliated (3-0) this weekend by a hierarchically inferior opponent (Andrézieux, N2).
After its easy victory at Amilly (0-5) on Saturday, Quevilly-Rouen is therefore the last club from the former Haute-Normandie still in the running. Bruno Irlès’ players will know their opponent in the 32nd round this Monday evening, whose meetings are scheduled for the weekend of December 18 and 19.
