This is the first time in its history that Senegal has won the CAN! Upon their arrival in Dakar, the selection bus took 7h30 to cover 15 kilometers. Before leaving with the Senegalese selection for the CAN2023 qualifying matches, Noureddine Bouachera spoke of the Girondins de Bordeaux.
Leaders who arrived too late
For this specialist in video analysis and recruitment, the 2021/2022 season could not end otherwise. And surely more due to timing than due to a series of individual failures
You know when you have a club which is bought on July 24 with a coach who arrives very late, a recruitment which is done very late, employees who do not know what sauce they are going to be eaten, an institution which is not an institution and which has everything to build, players who must leave, players who must remain very ready and a team to be built, very quickly, there are grains of sand, grains of salt and you have put all the ingredients to go to the box – Noureddine Bouachera
Finding the right balance between young and experienced
Arrived in Gironde in 1993, it was in Libourne that Noureddine Bouachera met Jean-Marc Furlan with whom he worked for many years, in league 1 as in league 2, in Troyes and Strasbourg in particular. For league 2, the idea of building around the experience of a Paul Baysse and the youth of a Sékou Mara is a track according to Noureddine Bouachera
I think that every club needs an identity and therefore the important thing is that the Girondins rediscover their identity, in my opinion, with players who actually identify with the Girondine tunic and who are themselves carriers this side. You need experienced players, players who have between 200 and 250 matches between Ligue 1 and L2, young players with high potential and to create this mix which is very important. But once again, there must be an institution at the head of the club and there must be no rift between the president, the sports manager, the coach and the players must feel that there is a project behind – Noureddine Bouachera
Jean-Marc Furlan never had the players to succeed in L1
In Troyes, Noureddine Bouachera had three promotions to Ligue 1 (2005, 2012 and 2015) alongside Jean-Marc Furlan, who is one of the names circulating with those of Didier Tholot and Laurent Battles to train Bordeaux next season. The idea that JM Furlan might prefer Ligue 2 to Ligue 1 is a false analysis according to Noureddine Bouachera
He has a know-how that is recognized. Jean-Marc has an ideology of the game, of the offensive game that can easily be implemented in Ligue 2 with experienced players. After in Ligue 1, you need players to set up an attacking game, an open game, you need players who can carry and unfortunately, I think he never had his hands in Ligue 1 in in any case a team and players with enough talent to carry these ideas there because he really has nothing to envy to other colleagues – Noureddine Bouachera
If Jean-Marc Furlan came to the Girondins de Bordeaux, it is therefore not because he would not have the capacity to train in Ligue 1 but out of love for the club and out of conviction for a project. Noureddine Bouachera will join his Senegalese team in a few days for the CAN2023 qualifying matches against Benin and Rwanda
