the monumental rant of Bodmer and Digard after the humiliating elimination

This Saturday, Le Havre, along with Montpellier, is one of the Ligue 1 teams that fell to the wayside by losing to a team that was clearly inferior on paper. Saint-Brieuc, a National 2 club, won (1-0) and inevitably, there was anger on the Le Havre side.

In comments relayed by Paris Normandie, Mathieu Bodmer clearly slammed his fist on the table, with a strong speech against the Norman locker room. “We cannot explain this lack of respect towards the club, the supporters, the staff… (…) Those who want to wet their jerseys, they come back, the others, they will do what they want their lives,” said the sports director in front of the microphones.

Digard denounces an unworthy performance

Speech of the same content for Didier Digard, the Le Havre coach, who also did not mince his words in the face of the copy made by his team. “I don’t know if that’s shameful or logical. Shameful because the performance and logical because the performance too… It had been clear all week, apparently it didn't go well. We can always complain about many things but we also have to be realistic. When you are three divisions above, normally, you must need someone, you have to know how to question yourself. It's always more difficult than handing over others. (…) It’s really unworthy of what we have to produce. When we have the ambition to stay in Ligue 1, we cannot afford this kind of gap. It's adding a pebble to the shoe, a huge pebble even. It also adds relational problems because we often have strong comments. Those who want to move forward move forward and those who are not ready to face reality will stay to the side,” concluded the Normandy coach.
