After the draw brought back from his trip to the side of
Bloisthe National 2 team of
Girondins de Bordeaux got into preparation mode for this important month of November. In fact, the men of Bruno Irles will have several decisive matches from all points of view. Between championship and cup, expectations and objectives will be multiple.
We will have to move up the rankings and this requires a series. The Bordeaux side have not lost since the fourth day played on September 7, and this 2-1 defeat at
Dinan-Léhon. So the series is ongoing, we just need to make it even more exciting in-game and accounting-wise. This weekend the Girondins will face the surprising team of Saint-Pryvé Saint-Hilairesecond in the championship behind Saint-Malo. A home victory would allow us to regain three points and get back on track. Especially since the next day will be one of two late matches. It will take place on Wednesday November 13 on the grounds of Poiré-sur-Vie, good last in the ranking. Afterwards, it will still be necessary to show its ambitions by traveling on November 23 to the current Norman leader of
Saint-Malo. In the meantime, there will be the 7th round of the Coupe de France and a trip to FC BressuireRegional 1 club, on Sunday November 17.
For these deadlines, Bruno Irles will need all his strength and a group of warriors. He should therefore take advantage of this week of training to clarify certain things, or even “shake” certain players in his own words last Saturday. Indeed, after the draw at
Bloisthe technician had suggested that three players, without naming them, would be shaken up a little, to raise their level of play.
“I'm not happy because my players haven't necessarily all been 100% of what they can do. We know that this championship is a long fight, and it will be every weekend. This evening, I am still hungry for two or three players. We can't only have 7 or 8 very good players on a field. Once again, we talk about the desire, about what we are capable of doing… We can miss things and quite honestly, you can put anyone on this field, they will miss things. But in terms of desire and what they are capable of doing, I have two or three players that I will shake up during the week. If we want to get to the top of the table, it's not eight players who have to be good, but eleven. »
It is true that several players were a little below the expectations placed on them in this last match, or even more. In particular, we can think of Yanis Merdjiwho is convincing in cup matches, but less so in the championship. The wingers Amadou Diallo et Travis Mutyaba were not to their advantage either. Moreover, the return of Soufiane Bahassa clearly showed that he was above in spirit, technique and combativeness… and decisive gestures. In particular, it was noted that Safouane Karimlittle to his advantage over the last week of training, went for a spin in National 3 on the last day.
In midfield too one can wonder if a player was in the coach's thoughts. Emeric
Depussay was a little tender and got pushed around, just like Adrien Louveau who had not accustomed us to that since the start of the season. On the contrary, he is one of the basic men. His repositioning in the middle was rather well received and a winning choice. The last recruit Thomas
Traziéseems to be gaining momentum and will apply for a starting place.
Finally defensively he's the captain Cédric Yambéré which seems to be a little worse for wear. By his side,
Jean Grillot seems to be riding a good wave and is reassuring. The future qualification of Djibril Diawalthough still not acted upon, could redistribute the cards.
At any rate, Bruno Irles will have choices to make, decisions to make in the coming days and weeks. His group is almost complete and the excuses for the lack of automation and integration will no longer be valid. The objective, which has been publicly stated on several occasions, remains a promotion to the National at the end of the season. We won't have to wait too long and some players could be more than upset if there is no longer any positive development.
