The 32nd finals of the Coupe de France had seen good draws with the arrival of three L1 teams in Île-de-France.
This will not be the case for the round of 16 which will take place the first weekend of the year 2022. But the posters drawn by Frédéric Déhu, the former central defender of Lens or of PSG, leave great chances to the last Ile-de-France survivors.
The
PSG
which plays this Sunday evening in Valenciennes against the amateurs of Feignies-Aulnoye (N3), was again spared by this draw with a trip to Brittany in Vannes (N2). A club where goalkeeper Garisson Innocent (21) had been loaned. But his loan did not go very well and he will return to PSG during this January transfer window, certainly before a new loan.
Hero of these 32nd finals with his feat against Angers, 9th in L1 (2-0),
Linas-Montlhéry (N3)
will receive another pro club with Amiens, ranked 12th in L2. The licensees, manager and a handful of players from Linas-Montlhéry (N3) attended the draw from the clubhouse of the Paul-Desgouillons stadium where two and a half hours earlier they had achieved the feat. “It's a mixed feeling,” said defensive midfielder Johan Roca. On the one hand, we're going to face a pro club at home and have a great party. But we hoped to play a very big one like OM, PSG or Monaco. "
The last two Ile-de-France clubs, Versailles (N2) and Créteil (Nat.) Benefit from favorable draws.
Versailles,
which qualified in Alsace at Sarre-Union, will receive another N3 team, La Roche-sur-Yon Vendée.
For his part,
Créteil
, last representative of the National championship, will travel to Bergerac (N2).
Paris FC in Nice in case of success on the green carpet
After the incidents and the match stopped Friday against Lyon,
Paris FC
is awaiting the decision of the disciplinary committee.
But if it gives him the game won, which is a probable hypothesis, the PFC will face another L1 club, Nice.
But there will be no organizational worries this time around since the match will take place at the Allianz Riviera.
There will be duels between L1 clubs, a hot North derby in perspective between Lens and Lille, as well as Montpellier - Strasbourg and Brest - Bordeaux.
