The Girondins de Bordeaux drew for the 8th day of National 2, on the field of Blois Football 41 (1-1). For La Nouvelle République, the coach and former defender, Cédric Hengbartspoke at the end of the match, satisfied with having channeled Andy Carroll well, even if the England international still scored.
“We managed to thwart their game plan, which was to play long on Carroll, and everything was almost perfect. I knew we had the ability to play this kind of match with eleven players who performed very well. And that's why I'm frustrated, because we would have fully deserved to win with the play proposed and all our offensive situations. But hey, this match was decided on the state of the pitch and a bad bounce in our area…”.
While Blois remained on a bad streak despite a good start to the season, this draw against the Girondins will revive them.
“This match will still give us momentum. It was a pleasure to play in front of people after playing in front of 100 people in the cup last weekend. I saw desire and good attitudes again. It's up to us to maintain this level of demand in this difficult championship, because I am convinced that we will inevitably be rewarded, as was the case at the start of the season. »
The Blois team Saturday evening: Maitre (c) – Lopez, Mouniama, Marie-Louise, Chapelle, Ngwabije, Ben Nasr, Relange, Sommer (Diaby, 70th), Ngassaki (Reulier, 82nd), Mabekondiasson.
