Beaten by Paris Saint-Germain yesterday in the Coupe de France (1-4), US Orléans is eliminated from the competition. The National club has nothing to be ashamed of its performance against the Parisian ogre and striker Kévin Fortuné, the only scorer yesterday for the Loiret club last night, invited his teammates to raise their heads after the match. “We showed that we were real men, we did what we could. Unfortunately, we come up against a big team, but I don’t want to see anyone give up because we had a big match. It was the first time I felt a cramp. I was dead, I made the effort with you, it didn’t work out but we’re coming out of there with our heads held high”first greeted the former Lensois in the locker room.
But the 34-year-old also gave a moving speech. He paid tribute to his 17-month-old daughter, who died of an illness a few years ago. “Something that’s close to my heart: I didn’t show it this week and maybe I’ll show it more in the coming days: next week is the birthday of my daughter who I lost”announced the Martinique striker, before being joined by all of his teammates, who came to support him in this difficult moment.
