“Oh lélé, Oh lala, but what happened, we fussed them!” this song resonated for a long time in the locker rooms of the dilapidated Francis-Rongiéras stadium in Périgueux. A song that will become an anthem to Versailles since the FCV78 players like to chant it at the top of their lungs after each victory in the league or the Coupe de France.
This Wednesday, February 9 will in any case remain as a great date in Ile-de-France football. FC Versailles eliminated Bergerac in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France (1-1, 5-4 tabs). Here is the Yvelines club in the semi-finals of the competition, at the end of this match the players were on a little cloud.
The reactions
Meylvin Vieira (midfielder): “It triggers a smile, we fly, I admit it’s indescribable! We don’t even touch the ground. Afterwards, personally at my age (32), I wanted to end my career this season (sic). And today I’m leading the National 2 championship and we’re in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France… we’re not touching the ground! We’re in the clouds there!”
Waly Diouf (defender, last shooter for the tabs): “Incredible the fifth! but I was sure that I was going to score. What joy but what joy because besides it was not easy. We take a red, we finish at 10, we concede a goal at the 90′ (1-1) and finally we qualify… we’re happy! But you see that’s what we were saying to each other in the locker room, we don’t realize too much. For us at the moment T, we just won a Coupe de France match but we will need two or three days to realise, come down and understand that we are in the last 4 teams to qualify for the Coupe de France.”
Izan Diarrassouba (midfielder) : “Frankly… it’s beautiful, it’s beautiful, it’s beautiful!! We’re really living a dream and I honestly hope not to wake up. It’s super beautiful in any case. We believed in it and we did it with manner and more. It’s really the victory of a great collective and frankly this story is crazy!”
