On Forever, the journalist Julien Béegave his “flops” in the last two championship matches of the Girondins de Bordeaux.
“It’s true that Amadou Diallo and Travis Mutyaba… The latter even came out at half-time of the first match. I find that these two players have difficulty passing the level. It's true that they find themselves in N2 with complicated pitches, but at Matmut, well, Mutyaba got through it. I feel that there is more interesting potential, at least in what I like, in Amadou Diallo, in terms of percussion and the way of provoking. There is a good duo that can be done with Driss Trichard, but what he did is not enough. At Poiré-sur-vie he must take this big opportunity…”
Then, the journalist pointed at the midfielder.
“For me, Thomas Trazié and Emeric Depussay were certainly rather correct in the recovery, but I find that there is really a problem with fluidity in the game in relation to these recoveries and these second balls which are poorly used. Emeric Depussay loses a lot of balls, with passes which go into touch, or which do not find the other players. It is also his role to break lines. It's true that we are in N2 and that they will progress further, but I find that in this midfield, if the recovery is good, we put ourselves in danger with poor use of the ball, and we also have sometimes it's hard to keep it. We are quickly caught. I find that there is a lack of fluidity. Yes, we won the last two matches, but I find that these Girondins are not at the level we would like them to be in the game, even if I also know that we have a lack of objectivity because we have experienced Ligue 1, Ligue 2… But I say it again, these players, normally all of them, are supposed to have a higher level, so they should be able to do much better in using the ball”
