Girondins de Bordeaux coach Bruno Irles reacted after the elimination, with honors, of his team against Stade Rennais in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France.
“We had analyzed Rennes. Tactically, we were ready. They stuck to the plan. We knew we could compete. There is the motivational aspect, the tactical aspect, and then you have the physical and technical aspect. Physically, we held on, I was even pleasantly surprised by some in the first period. Unfortunately, I knew it could be difficult over the 90 minutes. Again, this is not our main objective. We showed ourselves that we could progress. There are sectors where we have progressed, and others where we still see a difference. With a player from Rennes, I have the payroll for my entire squad. So fortunately Rennes proves individually that they can beat us in this kind of match, even if four goals is perhaps a bit much for the whole match… They were superior to us, and they deserve to go through this round.”
