After the meeting, in front of the press and on Forever, the coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Bruno Irlesspoke on the entry ofIssam Ben Khemis instead of Andy Carroll, instead of for exampleAmadou Diallo that we hadn't seen more since the start of the season;
“Amadou Diallo is in a less good period. He's actually worse at the moment. And I needed… So, it's also calculated… In fact, I have this desire, when I bring in a player, to keep the ball a little more. So he can… In addition, at the same time, the opponent switches to 4-4-2 at that moment, so my objective is to have a surplus in midfield, to have a little bit of the ball… The objective was to create this surplus in the middle compared to the opponent, and Issam Ben Khemis has this quality to come with the two midfielders to create this surplus”
Then, the coach confessed that without the exit of Andy Carroll, there would not necessarily have been any changes.
“I wouldn’t have made those changes at 1-0. We would have gone to the end. For me, they were in place, they were working. Once again, when I make a change, it's because I'm convinced that it will lead to something more. We're talking about Issam, but because Andy is out. If Yanis had gone down a notch, I wouldn't have brought Issam in too… There are several plans, but I didn't really have anyone on the bench where I said to myself 'at the 60thit will bring me something more. There was indeed Amadou who was on the bench, but who is in a slightly less good period. I'm waiting for him to show me more, in training or at the end of matches, to become competitive again as he was able to be.
