Valenciennes goalkeeper Jean Louchet, 27, was unemployed last summer. The Beauvaisien passed through PSG between the ages of 17 and 19.

He promised to move up to National with the northern club. But perhaps it is finally a springboard to a Coupe de France final. Louchet will aim for a performance along the lines of that against Rouen in the quarter-final (1 -1, 4 shots on goal to 2) at Groupama Stadium in Décines (Rhône)
