The players of the Union Bordeaux-Bègles leave Brittany with the four points of victory. A satisfactory result but which should not make us forget the catastrophic first half experienced by the Girondins. Yannick Bru does not forget him.
“It bordered on dishonor”
We imagine that the UBB manager did not hesitate to pull up his players' straps at the break, which perhaps led to the reaction we saw in the second half. But despite the final success, the performance of the first act remains in the throat of the coach, who spoke to the press, evoking a certain feeling of shame or dishonor over these first forty minutes.
The target has been reached, but we have made the task so complicated! The face in the first period was just unacceptable. We had the impression that it was a training session for Vannes. However, we had prepared well for the match. What was said in the locker room will stay there. I'm not in the habit of getting angry, I'm not a loudmouth, but it bordered on dishonor. We didn't respect the jersey, what we built, those who support us. We were on the back foot all the time, we allowed them to be on fire, we gave them the opportunity to succeed in everything. It was undignified. We are always marked by inconstancy, absences. This shouldn't happen to us (…) I don't want to jump to the ceiling. It’s a good reminder of humility.
The words are strong, but undoubtedly equal to Yannick's surprise, negative of course, at seeing his players sink like this. A rout which fortunately had no consequences, but which shows that the people of Bordeaux still have things to work on. “We are not yet the quiet force like some Top 14 teams”also launched Yannick Bru to the media. Not yet for 80 minutes anyway.
To summarize
The players of the Union Bordeaux-Bègles leave Brittany with the four points of victory. A satisfactory result but which should not make us forget the catastrophic first half experienced by the Girondins. Yannick Bru has not forgotten this and expressed his amazement, his shame in a way, after this first part of the match.
