In the round of 16 of the French Football Cup, amateur club Croix faced Lille, a team from Ligue 1, with four divisions separating the two. While Croix supporters hoped for an upset, Lille was aware of the challenges and the need to avoid a third misstep in 2014. Djibril Sidibé, a Lille player, acknowledged the difficulty of facing two consecutive defeats in Ligue 1 but emphasized the importance of bouncing back. Sidibé stressed the need for Lille to rectify certain aspects of their play, such as efforts, aggressiveness, and being more assertive. He also highlighted that the Coupe de France remained a collective objective for the Lille group, and qualifying against Croix would boost morale and contribute to their overall goals in the competition.
