Demoted to National 2 because of its financial problems, Bordeaux offered itself a new squad even though the season had already started. His methods displease the competition and make the Aquitaine club the most hated team in the championship.
Change of atmosphere for the Girondins. Sunday afternoon, Bordeaux will host Stade Rennais in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. The National 2 resident will then look like Little Thumb, a far cry from his image at amateur level. In its championship, Gérard Lopez's club is indeed perceived as an anomaly. Adrien Louveau's teammates are not popular and notice it every weekend.
« We're the team people want to see lose every gamenoted the Bordeaux community in comments relayed by Le Télégramme. But it doesn't bother us that much, we're really in our own bubble. » In any case, the Girondins are trying to stay there. That hasn't always been the case this season when the criticisms surfaced. Last September, Châteaubriant only obtained a draw (2-2) at Matmut Atlantique after leading 0-2 at half-time.
The clash of Irles
The opportunity for his trainer Papy Leye to let loose on the express recruitment of Bordeaux. “ There is still a problem of equitydenounced the technician. We have a club which did not have a single player at the start of the championship. Bordeaux first announced a budget of five million euros then this week, it increased to eight million euros. There is something wrong! » His statement provoked the anger of his counterpart Bruno Irles, although known for his calm.
« If we are in National 2, it’s because we deserve it. If we are in receivership, it is because the State and football have considered that this club could start again. So he stays in his place and concentrates on his match. If he had been good, he would not have conceded a goal in the second half. It will do everyone good to stay in their place », replied the Marine et Blanc coach, tired of the hostility around Bordeaux.
