Author of six goals this season, Andy Carroll is undoubtedly the plus man of the Girondins de Bordeaux in National 2. Bruno Irlès' team has also been criticized for relying too much on the English striker.
Former star of Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham, Andy Carroll is the attraction of the season at the Girondins de Bordeaux. Against all expectations, the 35-year-old English striker agreed to join the scapular club for a crazy adventure in National 2. The signing of the British striker in Bordeaux could easily have turned into a fiasco but it was quite the opposite. An indisputable starter in the eyes of his coach Bruno Irlès, Andy Carroll has already scored six goals in the space of five National 2 matches. A hell of a ratio for the ex-Liverpool striker, who is already the flagship player of the Girondins. A little too much even, with some observers believing that too much reliance is placed on Carroll and that the offensive players next to him are not doing enough.
Saturday's victory against Saint-Pryvé Saint-Hilaire (2-0) with a double from Yanis Merdji proves that Andy Carroll is not the only danger in attack in Bordeaux. Which delighted coach Bruno Irlès. “You also see that we are progressing. We are progressing in the game, we are progressing in our way of being dangerous, because we were criticized for only having one player who could be dangerous. We saw that there were several that could be dangerous. So yes, this victory feels good, but we are still very far from shouting, bragging, because we know that the season will be long” enjoyed the coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux in comments transcribed by Girondins4Ever. Andy Carroll can in any case breathe, he is no longer alone in scoring in Bordeaux. A relief for him, who has almost carried the Girondins attack single-handedly since the start of the season in National 2.
