On France 3 Noa, the former attacker and now consultant, Steve Savidanspoke about the squad of the Girondins de Bordeaux, which is taking shape more and more, particularly with former players who have returned.
“These are players who also believe in the project that is being implemented. There are players who believe in it, and who put things in place. These are players who have a certain conviction, that of the return of the Girondins de Bordeaux as quickly as possible to the elite. There, with a possible accession this year to the National, you find yourself in the third division. Behind, if you can do well in the National, you can start again in Ligue 2, and that's how your club gets back, breathes…”.
Then, he mentioned the performance of Yanis Merdjiauthor of a double against the Herbiers.
“He is reaching new levels. Frankly, his two goals allowed the Girondins to qualify. This also helps build confidence. Victory after victory, we begin to believe in the possibility of the double project, going as far as possible in the Coupe de France, and playing for the National 2 title.”
Finally, he spoke about this new closed session.
“It’s never easy. I only experienced it once at the Parc des Princes, against PSG. And even when you're an opponent, it's really not easy. The supporters are also massed in front of the grid… It's not easy, even in terms of markings, because the supporters are part of it. Even the opposing supporters, who can boost things up a bit… There's no one there, it's really empty, and a real shame.”
