On Sud Radio, the former playmaker, Alain Giressespoke about the situation of his favorite club, the Girondins de Bordeaux.
“I read the results, more than follow them. I cannot remain indifferent to the Girondins de Bordeaux, even if today this club looks nothing like what it was and what it should be, unfortunately. That's why it's ambiguous and complicated. On the one hand, we cannot accept that the people who are still in charge of this club have put it in this situation, with again last week the dozens of letters which arrived to thank the employees. There, it hurts. And yet, I hear people who say that we must have respect for this gentleman (Gérard Lopez, editor's note) because he saved the club a few years ago… He saved it, to bring it there. At the time, he wouldn't have sunk that low. Now it's at level zero, there's nothing left. More training centers, more professionalism. Under the pretext that it will allow me to start again… I'm willing… Yes, somewhere, I'm impressed by the Girondins where I started there when I was very young, but it's difficult to accept the current situation.
