Bordeaux is a monument of French football.
This match against Metz is a real final, almost a dam before the hour. Bordeaux current 20th would be 3 points from Lorraine in case of defeat and could well sink. For Bordeaux sports journalist Xavier Domergue (son of former Girondin Jean-François Domergue), the club’s situation is heartbreaking
It’s a rather difficult feeling to live with because indeed, I am from Bordeaux, I have always lived in Bordeaux so I am very attached to this club, very attached to what is happening there. I am touched because it is a club that counts, it is an important club. It is a monument of French football, whatever one can say about it and to see the situation it hurts – Xavier Domergue
We will know the result of our opponents at the start of the match.
A pivotal 31st day because 4 of the last 5 of the classification are in direct opposition. We receive Metz while Lorient welcomes Saint-Etienne. For its part, Clermont receives PSG. In addition, our three direct opponents in the fight to maintain will have already played Sunday at 1:00 p.m. But no matter the other results you have to win first says the winner of the 2002 league cup, Frédéric Roux
We already have to worry about ourselves from the moment we do the results, it will be easier to think about what will happen next. It is absolutely necessary to garner the maximum number of points on Sunday, it is three points and nothing else. It is absolutely necessary to reverse this trend and enter a positive spiral. If they indeed display the same moral virtues as they were able to display in Lille, we can hope for something interesting – Frédéric Roux
Now we have to score goals!
In Lille Bordeaux has achieved its first clean sheet of the season! If we don’t concede any more goals, now we have to score some. Obviously, but Bordeaux’s last goal dates back to February 27! Nothing since, as Xavier Domergue points out
Today, the bleeding was stopped with this draw in Lille, with a lot of values, fighting spirit that we had lost for long weeks and now it is a question of scoring because I believe that we has scored more in four matches with Guilavogui in Clermont. Today is, in quotes, a new championship that begins. There are 8 matches left and there is no more time to look at each other. There is no longer time for everyone’s moods. You really have to go there to save the club. Because it’s a club, a city that deserves to be saved – Xavier Domergue
We are sure of one thing, Sunday at 2:45 p.m., the Girondins de Bordeaux will be more about their future. 90 crucial minutes during which the navy and white will need the support of an entire stadium. Match to follow live and in full on Sunday from 12:30 p.m. on France Bleu Gironde.
