On his Twitch channel, the captain and central defender of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Cédric Yambéréspoke about the criticism from Bordeaux supporters who do not understand that Yoann Barbet did not stay at FCGB last summer, and that he is today in Saudi Arabia.
For him, who played with Yoann as a reserve in his early days, there is no debate about his love for the Scapular Club.
“He’s a lover of the club, he’s from Bordeaux, it’s normal that he continues to follow the club. I knew him when I arrived at the Girondins, he was also my captain. She’s a person that I also really appreciate.”
And as for his choice not to stay, we must respect it.
“I don't agree with the fact that he can sacrifice a year (of salary, by staying). He made a choice, there is the family too. I can understand the disappointment, but you have to respect that. He was trained here, he has that love. He came back to Ligue 2… Maybe you will tell me that I am not objective because he is a friend. But he already came back, then he left again because he had an opportunity. There is his family, there are lots of things. Tomorrow, if you have an opportunity to be able to shelter your family, you are the first to go… I understand the point of view of the supporters too, but it is a point of view that I have, I have my sports eye.”
