[J2] The Tops and Flops of Girondins4Ever after this late match at Poiré-sur-Vie

This Wednesday, November 13, 2024, the
Girondins de Bordeaux played the late match of the 2nd day of National 2 Groupe B outside facing the club Vendée Poiré Football. The meeting was played at Idonnière stadium.

The players of Bruno Irles won a goal to zero thanks to the English striker Andy Carrollon a service of Yanis Merdji.

TOPS

Andy Carroll : He has really flown through this National 2 championship since he arrived. The England international has once again demonstrated all his talent at the age of 35. It only took three minutes for him to land a magnificent strike, which allowed him to score his 7th goal of the season. The rest of the meeting is a palette of what he can produce on the pitch. Combativeness, positive aggressiveness, self-sacrifice, perseverance… He never stopped hurting his opponents. Despite some blows, English remained solid. He could have scored a double but the referee unfairly flagged him offside. What more can I say? That there is this Carroll dependence of course, but as long as it wins…

Lassana Diabaté: The Bordeaux goalkeeper had a good performance against Saint-Pryvé Saint-Hilaire, while keeping a clean sheet. On the Vendée pitch, he once again had to show solidity in the few dangerous situations. He is on parade with a nice shot, diverting a ball that was going under the bar. He also made an impeccable save on a fleeing cross. Behind he reassures, in the air he assures despite his small size. Great satisfaction and a new clean sheet.

Soufiane Bahassa : In a match where everything was not as simple as that, the former Angoulême player was once again solid. Offensively he takes charge of the game on the wing, and shows a lot of commitment, determination and desire. If we praise the benefits of Andy Carroll with the goals he scores, we can also say that Soufiane Bahassa is a very important part of Bruno Irles' offensive system. He is the dynamiter of the team, it is through him that many of the balloons pass. He could have been rewarded with a goal but he completely missed in front of the opposing goal, surprised to have the ball at his feet. This is an element that we will have to count on in every match. And on the left in the second half, it was even better… something to think about.

The Flops

Amadou Diallo : He was aligned on the left wing, as usual. Amadou Diallo alternated between the good and the less good in this match. We were able to see and have confirmation that his understanding with Driss Trichard is visible on the ground. The two men find each other, split, but one thing is missing, the finish. Several times in this match, he had the opportunity to score or make someone score but each time he missed the last gesture. His biggest failure remains in the second half, when launched in depth by Depussay, he misses his lob against the goalkeeper. He also gets moved quite a bit by opposing defenders and still lacks physicality. He has only delivered one assist since his debut, and has still not scored a single goal.

Thomas Trazié : He was alongside Emeric Depussay for this match since Adrien Louveau was repositioned in central defense. We could see in certain phases that it was useful for recovery but then it is a little more complicated. He still needs to create automatisms with his teammates. Everything is not to be thrown away on this meeting but he must bring a little more with his status. He disappeared as the minutes passed. It's only a postponement.
