Girondins4Ever – [J15] Granville Halftime

This Saturday, January 11, 2025 at 6:00 p.m., the Girondins de Bordeaux move onto the pitch of the Stade Louis Dior to challenge the team of
Granvilleon behalf of the 15th day of the National 2 championship.

For this meeting, Bruno Irles made with a group deprived of several important players. In the goals we keep Lassana Diabaté. Despite uncertainty during the week, the goalkeeper holds his position well. In defense, we had to recompose. We therefore find Jean Grillot
associated with Adrien Louveau to form the central axis. With the absences of Cédric Yambérésuspended, and Djibril Diawit is therefore an unprecedented defense. In the right corridor we find Youssouf Assogba
and on the left it is Nathanaël Baï which replaces
Driss Trichardt also suspended.

In the middle of the field Emeric Depussay is again associated with Thomas Traziédue to the fact thatAdrien Louveau evening came back down. Yanis Merdi is aligned as a playmaker, as has often been the case since the start of the season. Offensively Andy
Carroll is of course at the forefront of the Bordeaux attack. It is Travis Mutyaba who recovers the right wing to the great surprise and Soufiane
Bahassa will be his replacement. Finally Amadou
Diallo takes the left wing.

The holders

Diabaté – Assogba, Grillot, Louveau (c), Baï – Depussay, Trazié – Mutyaba, Merdji, Diallo – Carroll

Replacements: Grimaud (gb), N. Fofana, Ranem, Ben Khemis, Bahassa

The kick-off is given in a once again well-stocked stadium, and with the two groups of Bordeaux supporters. On the gaming side,
Granville gets a first corner in the 5th minute but it goes over the goals Lassana Diabaté (0-0). It is the Normans who play the game although Bordeaux obtains a situation in the 9th.
Andy Carroll Then Travis Mutyaba
have in turn the possibility of being dangerous. The Englishman controls too slowly before seeing his shot blocked, then the Ugandan receives a cross from Diallo but it completely crushes his head. You have to wait until the 20th for a first strike and it is from Bordeaux. Amadou Diallo tries his luck but it is picked up by the doorman. Offensively the
Girondins have a little difficulty in this first period, likeAndy Carroll who seems late and slow in taking initiatives. As a result, situations are missing.

Granville will move forward and
Jabi is on the verge of launching a shot into the area but Adrien Louveau comes to take the ball out for a corner. It will be cleared by the
Girondins (23rd 0-0). At the 28th
Granville has one opportunity but the shot goes over the top. Two minutes later the Bordeaux team obtained their first corner but it was directly in the arms of Paul
Reulet. At the 39th Bordeaux gets a free kick on the right side, which is taken by Diallo. But it’s too phoney for Carrollwho makes a soft pass and sees Granville go on a counterattack. We need a great intervention from
Baï to avoid a delicate situation.

At the break the two teams are still back to back.
