Even in a friendly match, a victory is always good to take?
David Guion: “That’s what I was looking for through this game, to get back to winning ways. The first half was not very interesting. Again, the players were, in my opinion, still too anxious and inhibited. What I liked about this second half is that they wanted to go for the victory. They played to win, they were much higher, much more aggressive and as if by chance, we created a lot more situations. Even at 1-1 we went for the victory. It’s reactions like that that I want to see, with a group capable of taking action.
Were you able to test different tactical schemes?
David Guion: “I’m still watching a little before this trip to Lille. There are a lot of absentees from the Lille meeting. I defended at 5 today, we went back to 4 behind at the end We will also see how the internationals will come back… Jimmy (Briand) still had some reaction pains on his calf. For Benoit (Costil) I thought it was good that he took a step back and that he finds a little bit of freshness. Today, I also wanted to give playing time to those who had less.”
How was this week after the tensions against Montpellier?
David Guion: “We had a difficult week, all together, I think the Girondins club is the club that has played the most foreigners this year in Ligue 1. At no time can racism enter the locker room, he won’t fit in our locker room, and he obviously didn’t fit in. I saw the press releases from the club, the players, the supporters. I saw that the goal for everyone and for Benoit (Costil) also is the maintenance. Me it is what interests me. And today, I want strong acts on the ground, I want victories “.
