Coupe de France: “I’ll remember Clermont for the rest of my life,” says Jonathan Iglesias, midfielder at Paris Football Club.

As soon as Jonathan Iglesias learned the name of FC Paris’ opponents in this round of 16 of the Coupe de France, he knew he had a good chance of finding the Stade Gabriel Montpier in Clermont. “I suspected that the match would be played there,” he smiles. I know Chamalier’s serve, it’s synthetic, and I thought to myself that it would definitely not be approved. I am very happy to be back in Clermont, in this city and in this stadium, where I have known so much beauty. From the moment I arrived in Paris, I wanted to return there, but I did not have the opportunity. There will be a reason. After the draw, many of Clermont’s friends and supporters contacted me. I can see them again, it will be very nice. Lately we’ve been playing on difficult pitches in Charlety and Annecy, where we know at least that the ground will be nickel…”
