On Forever, the coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux,
Bruno Irlesafter his team's draw against Blois (1-1), answered the question of whether the point of the draw reflected the nature of the match.
“Yes, I’m trying to see further from this match. Look at the first period, there is only the corner, and we play the shot badly, even though it was also prepared. But there's not much more. Once again, for the opponent too, it is difficult. He played like I expected him to play. We were able to contain him in the game 95% of the time. Yes, we take a point, ok, that's good, because we keep our dynamic, but that doesn't satisfy me. I expect more from my locker room. My players are capable of more, so I expect more”
Does he feel that his players were not ready to play in this context?
“Yes, yes… I have 80% of my players who were very good in relation to the conditions, but 80% will not be enough, even if we are called the Girondins de Bordeaux. We can't expect to be 80% totally invested. Of course, not one of them gave up, otherwise he wouldn't be on the field. There is not one who has completely missed it. But I tell you, we cannot afford, in this division, on this type of terrain, in this type of context, not to be at 100% of our abilities.”
