For “At the heart of the game”, the former player and captain of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Laminated Sanéwas asked to give the difference between Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, which he knew just after FCGB, with Werder Bremen.
“You play to win… They, you go there to win. I had entered another world. Everyone attacks, everyone defends. In France, it's very tactical, there are some who will attack, but you have to pay attention to the balance… There, it's everyone on board, everyone defends, and in the end we takes stock. That's why you see big scores. When I played, it was 4-3… Extraordinary. People come to watch the spectacle, not just to see one team win. You can lose 4-0, if you fought the whole match, the fans applaud you at the end… That's the difference. In Bordeaux, if you played against Marseille and you went 0-0 or 1-1, you were whistled, you were bad… That's the difference. Also, in terms of work, the Germans work a lot harder compared to certain Ligue 1 clubs. When I was in Bordeaux and I left for Werder, it was really physical. It's 100% work every day. I'm not saying it's the best solution. In France, you manage. The closer you get to the match, the more you manage your energy, you save it for the weekend. In Germany, no, it’s all the time.”
