At a press conference after Bordeaux-Rennes, the coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Bruno Irlesexplained what to remember from this Cup match, for the second part of the season.
“We won one more match with this one, to prepare for our championship. I've been saying it from the start. We had a competitive team, and I also told you that we were going to be competitive. I saw players, I have certain players for whom it was a lot more, others a little less. Even in relation to the championship, I am not talking in relation to Ligue 1. If I really had Ligue 1 players, they would not be with me. But in our state of mind, we know that our second part of the championship is going to be complicated. I have lessons to learn from this match, so I'm happy to have had this meeting. I'm also happy to have given the supporters a high-level nod. Opposite, there are Blas, Kalimuendo, high level players. Here, at the Girondins, we were used to having this kind of meeting, we have it less this season, but that's not why the supporters are not behind us. There were 20,000, I hope there will be 12,000 against Locminé on January 4, it's still the holidays (smile). They can come, it's a Saturday afternoon during the holidays, so with pleasure. We'll need them. They were very good, and we will need them in the second half of the season.”
