Matthias Jouanthe coach of the club
Granville, for Girondins4Ever and before the meetingspoke about the fact that it seemed complicated for the Girondins de Bordeaux to return to Saint-Malo and move up at the end of the season.
It is true that going back to Saint-Malo seems complicated when the climb was strongly envisaged at the end of the season, knowing that Bordeaux will have important deadlines before the commercial court and the DNCG…
« This is where I ask myself the question ‘Will the players say in their heads that if they have the opportunity to leave in January, will they see the project through to the end knowing that behind it will be maybe complicated?’. Maybe they won’t go up. For me there are players who also started with that, saying to themselves ‘Hey Bordeaux, it still remains a club which has nothing to do at this level, already by the name. Maybe it will be a quick possibility to go to National’. If they don’t go up, could this also be the time to say to ourselves that we have to leave now because we don’t know where we’re going, we have no visibility? For me they took a little slap all the same. So I don’t know how they will react. I think they will want to tell themselves that we are the last and that we must be hurt (smile). But we also have ideas so we can also give them a little push behind the ears. Then unfortunately, on top of that they lose Trichard, Yambéré. Afterwards, there will certainly be players who will want to show themselves but when we see that players have broken down a little at the end, we can still see that it is on a thin line. We tell ourselves that everything is not very clear, we still feel that there is a little pressure for this climb. It could break the pin, I saw Trichard’s tackle… We said shit… The guy threw himself to take a red. He leaves his team behind even though there is still a project…”
