It is certainly a defeat and we cannot, we should never be satisfied with a defeat. However, in the time of the reconstruction which is that of the Girondins de Bordeaux, this match against a Parisian team with a plethora of staff gave some reasons for satisfaction.
Thimothée Pembélé used Juan Bernat who left, which unbalanced the Parisian bloc
For Yon Encenarro, aka nandochachalana on the networks, Thimothée Pembéle fulfilled his role and moreover many Bordeaux attacks went through him. His work also wore out the Parisian Juan Bernat finally replaced fifteen minutes later by Nuno Mendès who made a catastrophic entry because, like Hakimi, he preferred to attack than to defend. And almost all the goals come from that side analyzes Yon Encenarro who finds that Timothée Pembélé has been unfairly criticized on the networks while according to him, even ” if he had his nose in the handlebars. He really played right midfielder the whole game and he held on. I blame a little more on his colleague who was just behind Kwateng »Ends @nandochachalana who found another reason for satisfaction: the entry of Mbaye Niang who did good!
Mbaye Niang will ramp up if he is given playing time
We will now have to give him playing time because it is the competition that makes the player and not the training. Same opinion for Marvin Esor, former player from the Girondins training center and today coach of FC Bassin d’Arcachon, for him, Niang is a player of character, which is often lacking in our players. We saw it as soon as he got home, he got on a bit with the referee and you need guys like that who electrify Marvin Esor believes. The proof is that as soon as he comes home, he takes hits, and if he takes hits, it is because the others felt the danger prolonged Yon Ecenarro who saw that from the entry into play of Niang, the game has become more difficult for Marquinhos. The Parisian defender had to watch him more, be much closer to Niang, so less available and all that, that frees up space for others. Example: Alberth Elis was totally released as soon as Niang returned, concludes Yon Ecenarro.
Bordeaux is the second team to suffer the most shots on target …
This is a stat issued by our colleagues from Canal +, the Girondins de Bordeaux are the 2nd team behind OL to suffer the most shots on target with 72 shots in 13 matches! Is this a sign of defensive passivity? For Marvin Esor, the issue is not related to a defense problem. Bordeaux is a team that will look for its opponents, so it is inevitably faced with leaving spaces. However, we must be able to resolve this issue and that requires a balance to be found and necessarily that also takes a certain time.
… but with Benoit Costil on 72 “only” 27 returned!
For Marvin Esor, it is always alarming to think that we take 72 shots but when there is Benoît Costil behind it is already less serious because of the 72 shots on target, only 27 have come in, and this statistic, it must also be taken into account. Indeed to put a goal against Bordeaux, you have to shoot more than six times in the frame. Same observation for Yon Ecenarro, alias nandochachalana on twitter, for whom the Girondins are a team a little more inclined towards the attack like many “small” teams of League 1 who dare more, go out more, and who find themselves behind with a certain imbalance and it is this balance that must be found, believes Yon Ecenarro. And it will be necessary to quickly find it because the next matches against Metz, Brest and Strasbourg which are direct adversaries to the maintenance will be very important.
