Blois Foot 41: 1
Girondins de Bordeaux: 1
In front of a packed Allées stadium for the reception of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Blois Foot 41 came close to securing a prestigious victory this Saturday, November 2. Leading at the break, the Blésois conceded the equalizer in the second half. A scenario that leaves regrets on both camps.
Geoffrey Marie-Louise (defender of Blois Foot 41): “We are happy but a little frustrated because they scored on their only opportunity. Pierrick (Mouniama) tries to clear but misses the ball due to a false bounce and the field. This is paid in cash. It's a point with regrets but we found the state of mind that was missing against Vierzon. It's rather positive and a good thing for the future. »
François Jacob (president of Blois Foot 41): “We really had a great party! Our first half was magnificent and we had chances to score in the second. And there is this fact of play because of the terrain. And when a ball is lying around, you can't count on Andy Carroll to put it aside. But the team can be satisfied with their performance. Beyond that, I congratulate all those involved in this meeting who offered a great show for the spectators despite a pitch that is not a football pitch, even if the gauge did not allow it to go any higher. whereas I think we could have seen 1,000 or 1,500 more people this Saturday evening at Les Allées. »
Bruno Irles (Girondins coach): “I'm not happy with the result. These were conditions worthy of amateur football and it can happen. Unfortunately, we are not prepared for this. My players have not all been 100% of what they can do. This championship is a long fight every weekend. In terms of desire and production, we can't just have 8 players at the top if we want to get to the top of the table. In this match, that's quite a good point. Even if, when we look, it is only on goal that we play badly. The opponent played as I expected, we were able to contain them 95% of the time. It’s true that this point allows us to keep our momentum. But that doesn't satisfy me, I expect more from my locker room. »
Cédric Yambéré (captain of the Girondins): “We were behind in the first half in terms of impact and intensity. They didn't put us in that much danger but we conceded a goal from a set piece. In the second half, the reaction was quite good. I'm quite divided on the result. But there is clearly disappointment because we came here to win. »
