Little desire
Malick Seck plays in the double defensive piston in the middle of the field, which is surprising, Malhory Noc is up front, and Jérémy Grain on one side. Georges Grimaud is in goal. We witnessed a bottom-of-the-table N3 match without much intensity and with fairly poor technical and playing quality. Half-time is whistled with the score 0-0.
Tactical porridge
Returning from the locker room, Bordeaux concedes a penalty by Ndong Bibang. The young Girondins midfielder misses his defensive move and grabs the opponent's leg. The penalty is indisputable. Grimaud touches the ball on the penalty, but it is transformed. Blagnac without forcing, leads the score (0-1, 52nd). Blagnac came close to doubling the lead in the 64th minute, with a header close to the post.
Seck goes from number 6 to central striker for a few minutes and Benmoussa from left back to right wing after an hour of play. In terms of organization it's a bit messy. Erwan Lannuzel makes all these changes. The second goal is worthy of a video gag, with two players televising Younousse and Abonckelet, while the others watch Blagnac double the lead. It's a rout.
In the end, if Bordeaux occupies the dunce's place, the last, of this Pool A, it is no coincidence. There is nothing positive to take away from this Sunday afternoon: we saw a weak defensive axis, a non-existent midfield and players without determination and not concerned. We cannot see how relegation could be avoided without a radical change in the conduct of the team and the attitude of the players.
