While there is still no communication apart from the DNCG meeting, we do not really know if Albert Riera, who has one year left on his contract, will still be at the Girondins de Bordeaux next season. But, for Marca, the Bordeaux coach seemed to project himself, also talking about what Gerard Lopez would have told him what happened next.
“If the objective of the coming season is to climb? Yes of course. Afterwards, for several days there has been an important subject which has been pending: financial fair play. We need to pass it, get approval for the season’s budget. Today, according to the discussion I had with the president, the budget is there. So we’re going to get through this first and then we’re going to see what our possibilities are to strengthen ourselves. We lose two players who have completed their contracts (Gaétan Weissbeck and Vital Nsimba). To date, nothing can be done. We all like to improve, to strive to be at our highest. Football also sometimes puts us in our place. And with the name of the Girondins de Bordeaux in France, if we don’t say that the objective is to climb, it would be hard. We’ll see what team we’ll have and I sincerely hope that we will fight for the climb, that’s really what I want. I am an honest person, I like reality, sometimes a little too much. I want to have the team to go up because this whole club and its supporters deserve it too.”
