Never a club in CFA 2, the fifth division, did not qualify for the semifinals of the Coupe de France, but the small Normandy club of Granville, defying Marseille Thursday in Caen (2100), sees himself writing a page history
“Tom Thumb,” “David against Goliath”. this year, these pictures are escorting the US Granville , club of a city on the Normandy coast, with its 14,000 inhabitants and some 300 licensees who try to sneak into the last four.
far four clubs evolving fifth nationally could make better than the quarterfinals, but after all, Granville had never reached the knockout stages, or even the sixteenth before this year …
“We can make history of this club, it will seek deep within ourselves “, told the captain of the” Maritimes “, Matthias Jouan.
Against them stands Olympique Marseille, the first opponent of the elite (13th) on their way this year .
But the US Granville is not a club like other CFA 2, with 700,000 euros of annual budget and almost all of its players who are dedicated soccer during that five or six weekly workouts.
Trained by Johan Gallon, who played over 250 professional games, Granville has in its ranks many players spent by pro training centers and also some “son of”, as Anthony Fournier, whose Laurent Fournier father brought the OM jersey for one season (1990/1991). in order to isolate the friendly pressure surrounding the event, the team is even going green Wednesday in Bayeux .
– “Fear the OM is normal” –
“Fear OM, this is normal, otherwise it would be very pretentious,” acknowledged Johan Gallon For
. a chance “he’ll have to be players in this game. It must be 100% determined, bold, ambitious. The only thing that can happen is we lose a game. “Gallon will rely on the experience of its captain Matthias Jouan.
It has already beaten Marseille in 2012 with the Normans of Quevilly – who moved two floors up in National – already in the quarter-final stage and already Ornano, before losing in the final against Lyon (1-0)
“The field is as big as Caen. that (our Stade Louis-Dior), after this is all happening around (will be different). But once we get back in the game, we forget everything, we focused on what to do and feels impelled by our fans, which is always a plus, “he explained to his
teammates. Problem: Marseille still knows better Ornano and likes it as demonstrated qualification on penalties in the Round of 32 of the Coupe de France and its league win (1-3), current January.
“If Marseille is in compliance and is there for us to win, I think it will be very difficult for us,” he lucidly admitted.
Jouan dreamed of playing against Lassana Diarra and Abou Diaby. Las. the first is allowed to stand and the second, who has never played this season in the jersey of OM, is still injured.
Faced with the Marseillais, Granville s’ focus mainly look good and enjoy his moment of glory. “We, our competition has already been successful, you have nothing to lose, so that OM has a lot to lose,” slipped the coach
