In the program Jour de Foot on Canal+ FootJose-Carl Pierre-Fanfan, former player and consultant, spoke about the season Girondins de Bordeaux who are in National 2.
« Afterwards it's hard. It's really hard for Bordeaux in the sense that it remains Bordeaux. It remains Bordeaux in National 2 for the opponents. Facing Bordeaux remains the team to beat so it’s a match. It will be reversed this time in the cup, with the reception of Stade Rennais. But usually it's really the team to beat all season so it's not easy for him. If there is an extraordinary audience? Yes, the home crowd is not bad. »
He also mentioned Andy Carrollinternationally renowned player who came to settle in Gironde:
« If I would also have played for a National 2 club? It's exemplary, his mentality is just remarkable. I saw that there was Dado Prso also in the staff (smile) and I played with him. In the state of mind between him and Andy Carroll, there are a lot of similarities, the size obviously, but he was a player in any case who gave everything, everything on the pitch, ready to invest for nothing , ready to give everything for nothing, for the love of the jersey. Honestly, it fits perfectly. If I would have done it? Not sure. »
