At last ! After two successive reports that gave a whole club a lot of cold sweats, theAF Virois and the SM Caen (Ligue 2) can finally meet for the 8th round of the French Cup.
Drama upon Drama
It is true that this cup has lost some of its flavor over the misadventures. The first report was due to an imbroglio around the non-approval by the FFF of a temporary stand. The second report is the work of the weather reportwith a frozen ground, and therefore impassable.
These two reports have cost the small calvados club which evolves into National 3. Hence this time the decision to relocate the meeting to Ornano, this Wednesday, December 21, 2022. Constrained and forced, it does not suit the AFV, which sees the football party that it had prepared twice fly away. Neither from the coach, Cedric Hoarauwho regrets not being able to welcome the pros of the SMC at home and feels wronged.
To this is added two absences of weight for the Virois coach. Thomas Chesnell and Stanley Boucaud are suspended for the game… whereas he was not last Saturday for the second report. One more misunderstanding that decided to spoil the party a bit. Especially for these two former weed growers who will be watching the match from the stands.
A party anyway
Nevertheless, volunteers, supporters and players raised their heads. Since Saturday, everything has been preparing for this meeting to finally take place in good conditions.
The gauge is no longer a problem. The weather report is lenient to kick normally. And the atmosphere will be beautiful, no doubt. Something positive for football fans.
Among them, Gérard Carpentier, SMC supporter for thirty years. This match in Caen is a godsend for him who could not make the trip to Vire last Saturday.
On the Virois side, the supporters did their best to come and support the AFV. Jeremy, Mike and Roger do not miss this appointment.
I have always been a Virois supporter, I managed to make the trip to support the players.
Another supporter will give us his prediction and hopes for a 1-0 victory with a goal from Erwan Kawczynski.
The winner meets the defending champion
With all these twists and turns, we would almost forget some the stakes of tonight’s meeting : the winner between Vire and Caen will find the FC Nantes during the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. So just for that, you have to give the maximum!
Kick off at 8 p.m.
