Bruno Irles: “We can’t catch up like that, in one month, three months that the other teams have”

On Forever, the coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux,
Burn Irlesspoke about the future for the Club au Scapulaire, and in particular the Coupe de France match against Cœur Médoc Océan. For the Bordeaux coach, this is a chance to have this kind of schedule, given the delay in the start of the season, particularly physically and in terms of automation.

“Yes, it’s an advantage for us today. We have slightly longer preparation periods. So, it’s an advantage because we have a Cup match to prepare, but here, I’m going to prepare Blois. From Sunday, we will prepare for our Blois match. And the match against Cœur Médoc Atlantique is part of this preparation. It is not denigrating the Coupe de France to say that we are using Coupe de France matches. As you have seen, I have always taken, and the players have always taken, these matches very seriously. But we are happy to have these matches too, like friendly matches in fact, which allow us to work with my squad. To also physically upgrade certain players, yes. But hey, we can’t catch up like that, in one month, three months that the other teams have.”
