The show was there on Tuesday on Tuesday on the first semi-final of the French Cup. In a Pierre-Mauroy stadium filled up to the throat, the US Dunkirk made PSG tremble. After having already eliminated Lille and Brest, the resident of Ligue 2 indeed led 2-0 against the Parisian scarecrow after barely more than half an hour of play, forcing Luis Enrique's men to work to win 4-2 and qualify for a new final of the French Cup.

The former defender of Bordeaux, Marseille or PSG necessarily has a particular affection for the old lady but is very critical about him.
“I was lucky to be in the right clubs, at the right time, that's it, that's what we are going to say. You do not win a Coupe de France all alone … In Bordeaux, in Paris, that's it … Yes, it's a competition that always makes me dream, even if there, the semi-finals do not make me dream too much, I'm sorry “he entrusted to the football day set on the eve of the first semi-final between Dunkirk and PSG.
Alain Roche wants it to the Cadors of Ligue 1

It is not possible that there are no more Ligue 1 clubs that are in the semi-finals … It is not possible ”he blown.
“Clubs like Marseille or others are not at the level …,” he continued. You don't have European competition, it's impossible not to be there. Even Lille… It's magnificent for other clubs, but it's sad not to see more Ligue 1 clubs in the semi-finals … that's all. But it is the flavor of the French Cup, that's it… ”
