On Forever, the journalist Julien Béeestimated that the Girondins de Bordeaux, during their meetings, had a lot of ball losses in midfield.
“There are quite a few pitches that are not level, so we have to take that into account. I think we lose too many balls in midfield and we can do much better. When I asked Bruno Irles the question, he told me that we were in National 2. I understand that, but we shouldn't hide behind that because we have players in the together which have a level higher than National 2. So it would be a bit of hiding behind that, even if I understand this argument.
If there is no more dependence Andy Carroll, there is really a problem according to him in the heart of the game, after recovery.
“One of the important lessons is that there is no longer necessarily a dependence on Andy Carroll, even if he still scored at Poiré-sur-vie. But the lesson is that Bruno Irles managed the Yanis Merdji case very well, allowing him to break free with this double. At Poiré, he was also the one who gave the decisive pass, and I have the impression that something may have happened. What I also remember from these two matches is that we are above the different teams, even if we perhaps have difficulty in the fluidity of this game. I find that the Girondins can do much better in particular in midfield, there are still too many technical errors. I have a real problem with the midfield. Adrien Louveau was absent because he was suspended then in central defense, and I found that he lacked in these two matches in terms of fluidity in the middle.”
