On a series of five consecutive victories in L2, Paris FC addresses the arrival of Lyon on Friday (9 p.m.) in the round of 16 in the best


This Wednesday was a very busy day in the small press room of the Paris FC training center in Orly.

"I hope you will also be there before Amiens", smiles Thierry Laurey.

The Parisian coach who says he is "delighted to be in the shadows" since his arrival at the PFC, has not changed the perspective of two players in the 32nd round of the Coupe de France against Lyon.

“Our most important match is not Lyon, but Amiens on Tuesday,” he said.

The arrival of the Picards on Tuesday in Charléty could indeed make it possible to end the year on the podium of L2.

In the meantime, within the club, we feel an unusual craze around the 32nd final.

As of Wednesday morning, 9,000 tickets had already been reserved.

The Pop-up store opened by Paris FC at the Italie 2 shopping center was also very successful in terms of visits.

“We have good results, so sometimes we would like to have more people supporting us,” Laurey believes.

I come from a club (Strasbourg) where popular fervor has sometimes helped us a lot.

If this Lyon match could serve as a trigger, that people say to themselves:

Hey, there is another club in Paris,

that would be good.

"

"We are obliged to defend our chances as best we can"

Saturday at the end of the 5th victory in a row at Valenciennes, Laurey had qualified the arrival of Lyon as a "glitter match". He spoke at a press conference by using the word "bonus". “Yes, it's a bonus, because we are not dreaming, we know that we will not win this Coupe de France. But we have to defend our chances as best we can. At the moment, we are rather rigorous and serious. It goes in Ligue 2. But against one of the 4-5 best French teams in L1, which brilliantly qualified in its Europa League group, which is not the Cup to toto, it will be something else . We will see how the players will be able to respond. It will be a good test. From Toulouse (2-2), we are undefeated. We rebalanced the team in terms of state of mind. The boys are more concentrated, more regular. We know that facing Lyon,rather, it will be necessary to defend. "

Thirteenth in L1, crossed by internal upheavals with the announcement of the departure of Juninho in January, Lyon is under pressure.

Coach Peter Bosz could play his future at Paris FC and then against Metz.

"You will not take me on that ground," says Laurey.

I have a lot of respect for this coach whom I also faced when he was playing in Toulon.

His career pleads for him.

He came to Lyon to put things in place.

So far, he hasn't quite got there.

But it takes time.

I will not allow myself to denigrate Lyon.

And we have to be sure of one thing: even if Lyon is in a delicate situation, it remains superior to Paris FC.

Croatian Ivan Filipovic will play in the cage

Used to playing the Europa League with Guimarães in Portugal, the side Florent Hanin is delighted to find a "match with a strong atmosphere". "It's nice," he admits. From Toulouse, we manage to be strong defensively, united and to score on the few chances we have. Against an L1 team like Lyon, that's what you have to do. We know that, technically, it's strong, it goes quickly with the ball. I don't know if this is the right time to take them. It is a double-edged sword. They will want to revive and not lose to an L2. We, the priority remains the championship, it is a bonus match but that one should not especially not be taken lightly. "

In terms of the workforce, Thierry Laurey should run a bit like in the previous two rounds of the Coupe de France at Sedan and against Cayenne.

Ousmane Camara, 18, who has groin pain after having played in L2 and with the France U19 team should be left to rest.

In the cage, it is the tall (1.97 m) Ivan Filipovic who will play in place of Vincent Demarconnay, In Lyon, Karl Toko Ekambi, still not recovered, remains very uncertain for his reunion with Paris FC.
