Michel Le Blayo: “Winning coaching from Bruno Irles”

On TV7, the former Girondins defender, Michel Le Blayolooked back on Bordeaux's victory against Saint-Pryvé, starting with the first period (0-0).

“He only missed the goals in the first half. But we didn't have a lot of scoring opportunities, except at the end of the first half. And on the other side, there was this strike from Fortunato, stopped by Lassana Diabaté. But otherwise, there were no big chances in this first period. Both teams played with their qualities, with Saint-Pryvé who was well in place defensively, and tried to take advantage of the slightest opportunity to put banderillas in the Bordeaux defense. The people of Bordeaux tried to build by collecting fairly high balloons.”

Then he talked about the second half.

“At the start of the match, we said that it could have settled into the second half, where physically we were going to have to hold on, that's what happened. With the winning coaching in addition to Bruno Irles who brought in Yanis Merdji, who made the difference. It was a serious match for Bordeaux which still allows them to grab a few additional points, to now be able to think about Wednesday's match which is as important as this one.

Dorian Berchenyhis commenting partner, added.

“It was a rather accomplished performance with Yanis Merdji’s double. It was absolutely necessary to impose yourself to hope. Bordeaux responded, did the job.”
