A classification which, it must be recognized, is a little disappointing in view of last season when the Bordeaux women finished 3rd, thus offering themselves the play-offs in the Champions League.
A jagged season marked by too many events
An elimination at the end of these play-offs, one or two mistakes in matches that are a priori easy in September/October, the real/false start of Patrice Lair at Christmas, etc. the season of FCGB Women was not a long calm river. A regret for Bordeaux journalist Xavier Domergue who comments on the matches of the French women’s team for the M6 group
I think Kingstreet in the past had brought a lot to the women’s cell. This was not the case throughout the club, but I think that the female cell had developed perfectly. There was this third place, qualifying for the Champions League which was really welcome. And in my opinion, this elimination against Wolsfburg at the start of the season weighed a lot and I find that they dragged it around like a ball and chain all season even though they are a quality squad. It’s worrying, but it’s worrying overall – Xavier Domergue
Many departures and a lack of respect!
And the concern became concrete with cascading departures the day after the last day: Katja Snoeijs, Marine Peréa, Eve Perisset and Charlotte Bilbault leave the Navy and White! Others could unfortunately follow. And for Thibaud who runs the twitter account @scapgirondines beyond the fact, it is the manner that is not worthy
I sincerely regret that the club has not even deigned to organize a tribute for its players who have marked the history of the club because they have marked the history of the club, because the women’s section is not next to the club, she is in the club and the players are part of the club’s history and identity. And as such, they would have deserved much more recognition and respect than what they had for their last match of the season at home against Paris FC – Thibaud Scapgirondines
A break at a time when women’s football is increasingly popular
The regrets are all the stronger as the women’s section was taking a step forward. By continuing to structure itself, it could continue its growth and, with a first experience in the Champions League, show ambitions for the following seasons. The progress of Bordeaux was seen in the French team analyzes Xavier Domergue
it was also felt on the number of players called by Corinne Deacon that lately, in the last gatherings, the Gironde team was perhaps the most represented, it is still something significant. It’s sad because we feel that women’s football is booming. Me first, I was very surprised when I commented on the qualifying matches for the Euro or the World Cup to see the audience: we are at one million or more, so there is a real craze. I also agree with Thibaud on the lack of respect and the lack of salvation because these players gave a lot to the club or had a fantastic last season, they were not far from competing in the Champion’s League and I think we very sincerely disrespected, a women’s section in a club is something important – Xavier Domergue
We will have to follow in the days and weeks to come the departures and arrivals within the women’s section and hope for a competitive team for next season. The Bordeaux Xavier Domergue who will comment on M6 the Men’s Nations League by Didier Deschamps also gives you an appointment on W9 for Corinne Deacon’s women’s euro preparation matches.
