Thomas Sanogo (Vendée Poiré Football): “It will always be positive for the championship insofar as they are opportunities for each club and player to face a club like Bordeaux”

Thomas Sanogothe assistant coach of the club Vendée Poiré Football, for Girondins4Ever and before the meetingspoke about finding the Girondins de Bordeaux at this level. Nice surprise or negative thing?

« This is not a nice surprise because it is regrettable for the Girondins de Bordeaux club above all. What I see is above all that we have a European level club which is today in the fourth division. We were able to experience this at our level, it’s always difficult. As a football fan, it's still special to see Bordeaux at this level. Afterwards, as coach at Poiré-sur-Vie, it’s a pleasure to be able to play these teams. The prospect of playing in stadiums like Matmut Atlantique too, these are great occasions and opportunities for the players and for everyone. What we want above all is to have a good time on the pitch. Then when we have executives like that or opponents of this standing, it's always more pleasant, more striking. For the players, these are moments they can tell their children about. Whether it's Bordeaux in the fourth division or Bordeaux in the first division, it remains Bordeaux. In the past they also unfortunately experienced setbacks, where they were demoted. Maybe not to that level, but they knew how to get back up. Whatever happens, it will always be positive for the championship as they are opportunities for each club and player to face a club like Bordeaux. Afterwards we are happy to play Bordeaux, we are not happy for them that they are in the fourth division. It's a bit of a reference to the Coupe de France when we play a professional club, except that we have it in our championship. »
