But beyond this observation, there is a game to play. And it is not by lamenting the earthiness of an inverted lottery that we pass the turns of French Cup. “We’re going there for make a big blow, a feat even ”, announces Vincent Hébert, determined, like his players, to achieve an epic.
“We all know what our opponent represents, it’s athletic, there is size, a good goalkeeper, players with good CVs, a public behind him; but no question of moving as victims, we will give everything to annoy them. “
In this type of configuration, we imagine the scenario of the match in advance. FC Rouen should confiscate the ball, AS Cherbourg round back and attempt shots in the counterattack. “We have ambition in the game”, submits the general manager, who relies on an attacking sector in confidence (7 goals in 3 games).
The returns from suspension of Florian Dubois and Alexandre Leguerrier and the new availability of Victor Pelleray and Sawani Mounkala are significant additional assets. ” We find important living forces for our serenity. It’s up to us to achieve this incredible thing. »And to return as a hero to the Nord-Cotentin.

At 6e to visit ? Not so common …
Since his administrative relegation to regional level in 2015, AS Cherbourg failed to pass only once the course of 6e turn in three attempts. She therefore tries again in Rouen with an opponent who is evolving one division above. And for the first time outside.
2015: Cherbourg (DH) – Granville (CFA2) 1-3: This is the poster for this 6e tower in the English Channel. The Blues challenge the US Granville of Johan Gallon, candidate for CFA membership. Amazing for more than sixty minutes, the players of Vincent Hébert jostle a leader of CFA2 with absent subscribers. They even lead in the score at half-time before breaking down in the last half hour thanks in particular to two goals from Florian Jégu and Thomas Vauvy, two former members of the house. A few months later, the US Granville will go to the quarterfinals, beaten only by Marseille in D’Ornano (0-1).
Goals: Cherbourg: Diousse (26th); Granville: Jégu (66th), Batoménila (67th csc), Vauvy (69th). The team: Vaze – Diousse, Rotrou, Batoménila (cap.) Aouraï – Diabaté, Dunand, Kambou, Guillebert (Enault, 76th), Hélaine (Pichon, 70th) – Robillard (Fleury, 76th).
2018: Cherbourg (N3) – Dieppe (N3) 0-0 (tab 4-3): The context is particular… Deprived of their favorite land due to the refurbishment of the athletics track, the people of Cherbourg take up residence with their neighbor from Tourlaville, in Léo-Lagrange. It is very windy this Sunday afternoon in October. The match is not beautiful to see, closed in a double round, but that does not prevent the Manchois from remaining solid (0-0) and winning during the penalty shootout on a last attempt by Tom Bolbec (4-3). In the 7th lap, the ASC will be pulled out by Grand-Quevilly (1-4).
The team: Estival – Aouraï, Hélaine, Robillard, Dunand – Tendeng – Leguerrier, El Himri (cap.), Nathan (Bolbec, 79th) – Romaneli, Fleury (M’Boma, 71st).
2019: Cherbourg (N3) – Vire (N3) 1-2: “The too late awakening of the Blues”, headlines La Presse de la Manche after the elimination at home of the Cherbourg residents against Vire. The home team is surprised at the start by Dallois, is not really lucky with the posts, and wakes up too late despite Jimmy Bonnemains’ goal late in the game. It is a disappointment for the Blues who hoped to reach the 32nd finals under the leadership of Noël Tosi.
The team: Pelleray – Bolbec, Mounkala, Diabaté, Dubois (Jemedi, 63rd) – Leguerrier, Tendeng (cap.), Minin, Dunand (M’Boma, 85th) – Romaneli, Faty (Bonnemains, 75th).
