In the program Jour de Foot on Canal+ FootGeoffroy Garétier, consultant, spoke about the season of Girondins de Bordeaux who are in National 2. The Bordeaux club is therefore coached by Bruno Irles, who came to take up a great challenge in a historic club in the French championship.
« If he is succeeding? Yeah, he's succeeding. He missed time, but above all, he missed having a team. At first, he played the reserve players. The players arrived gradually, and will continue to arrive until January 31. I think it's the deadline in National 2. The problem is that he still lacks offensive power and time is still running out. That is to say that if they do not move up this season, only the first moves up to National, will the club be able to hold on financially? Nothing is less certain. Gérard Lopez owes a lot of money and for now, only the rise could allow investors to join the project«
He also mentioned Andy Carrollinternationally renowned player who came to settle in Gironde:
« Incredible story from Andy Carroll! 41 million euros when he moved from Newcastle to Liverpool in January 2011. In fact, he replaced Fernando Torres who left Liverpool to go to Chelsea. […] He's an old-fashioned character in previous English football, a bit fanciful, with a lifestyle that's not always exemplary… He had a tendency to get into fights when he was young. But today he has calmed down. He's in Bordeaux for next to nothing, yes, for the love of football. »
