Samir Bakir (Bressuire): “We looked them in the eye, and it was the most efficient one who won. In the game, I did not find that they were much superior”

For Ouest-France and La Nouvelle République, the coach of FC Bressuire, Samir Bakirreturned to his team's defeat in the Coupe de France, at home, against the Girondins de Bordeaux.

“We wanted an emotional match, we got it. It was a great celebration for the club. We were a little caught up in the event at the start of the match, but I'm proud of the boys. We looked them in the eye, and the most efficient one won. In-game, I didn't find them to be vastly superior. We have three good chances that we have to finish, but unfortunately, we don't score. Football is about details, and when you have to kill, you have to kill. It's frustrating […] I have no regrets, we were present in the riot of energy. It’s a shame, we’re there in content but we’re losing out on effectiveness.”

The central defender Louison Billeauspoke about the double judgment of Lassana Diabaté.

“Jules (Rambaud)'s free kick is deflected right in front of me and the ball comes to me. I instinctively start again, I see it between the goalkeeper's legs, but he makes a reflex stop. Then, on the floor, I knock again, and he pulls out a flip flop! On that, he was huge”
