Winner of Valenciennes in the knockout stages of the French Cup on January 14, Le Mans was rubbing shoulders with an opponent of a completely different caliber on Tuesday: PSG. If the Manceaux had the benefit of playing the meeting at home, in their lair of Marie-Marvingt, they did not manage to create the feat, losing 0-2. But despite this setback, Patrick Videira's players do not have to be disappointed with their performance.
Present at a press conference at the end of this eighth finals, the coach of the current 6th of National did not express the slightest regret: “Mentally, we were ready. I was never afraid to take a suitcase. I wanted to stay faithful to my principles by displaying technical quality. We will continue in this line. The more we want to produce games, the more opportunities we will create, the more matches we will win. We don't have to be ashamed. We came across one of the best teams in Europe collectively. We had 25,000 people behind us. We experienced incredible emotion. It was fabulous. These images will remain engraved in my memory.»»
