Frédéric Sougey: “The demotion of the Girondins de Bordeaux to N2 does not mean the end of the club, just the start of a new adventure”

The journalist for the specialized media Foot Amateur, Frédéric
Sougeyspoke about the current situation of the Girondins de Bordeaux, who are navigating between the top of the National 2 table and qualification for the round of 32 of the Coupe de France.

“I said it a few months ago: the demotion of the Girondins de Bordeaux to N2 does not mean the end of the club, just the start of a new adventure, rich in emotions. Joy, pain, hope, disappointment… But passion definitely has no division. I experienced this a few years ago with Grenoble, these are obviously difficult times but the challenges also strengthen you. If we had said 4-5 years ago that there would be this fervor after a Cup match behind closed doors against a N2, who would have believed it? The 'Girondins de Bordeaux' will exist, regardless of the level, their name, the players, the managers. Because the Girondins de Bordeaux are the ones on the other side of the barrier in this photo (below, namely the supporters, editor’s note)”
