The coach of US Saint-Malo, Gwen Corbinwas questioned by Ouest-France about this Sunday's match in the Coupe de France, between the Girondins de Bordeaux, whom he faced this season in National 2, and Stade Rennais, for whom he saw all the matches.
“If Stade Rennais believes that it is encountering an N2 because it can quickly find itself in difficulty […] I attended all SRFC home matches this season. From what I saw, Bordeaux could beat Saint-Etienne, Le Havre, Montpellier and Angers, four teams beaten by Rennes. If the Bordelais manage to raise the level, to get on the level that day, there will be a match. The first goal can be a key element of the match, because the one who is going to concede it can start to doubt and the other can take the psychological advantage. I am convinced that in a match, the Bordelais can outperform if they have a good day. So be careful Rennes (laughs).”
On the Club au Scapulaire team, the Saint-Malo coach insists on the fact that the Bordeaux side have improved a lot compared to the start of the season, and that the team “looks less and less like a N2 team. Individually already.”
See you this Sunday at 2:45 p.m.
