Jonathan d'Agostino in the Talk: “I saw a team with two faces like certain players, like Depussay or Merdji. The first half was boring with the Girondins applying themselves defensively and on the team block. But the team was split in two, with midfielders and defenders who did not support the attacks. Our attackers had no idea. The second half was different with more intensity, movement, and a more direct game forward with high recoveries.”
Bordeaux must impose its rhythm on the opponent
“The Girondins understood that we must stop playing at the opponent's rhythm, but rather at our own rhythm to better use our strengths. In the first half, it was the perfect rhythm for Saint-Pryvé. In the second half – time, we put on the intensity we wanted and we took the upper hand physically over the opponent. I hope that the Girondins understood that we should not adapt too much to the opponent.
The winning move Merdji
“Substituted at the start of the match, Mutyeba was no better than him. When Merdji comes in, we feel a different offensive mood. He is the author of a beautiful double with a lot of running, and pressing. It's not a great scorer He has only passed the 10 goal mark once in his career, at Limonest in National 3. But his dejection, his movements and his desire make him very important for Bruno. Irlès. I think he is capable of having a better season in terms of his statistics.”
