The Girondins are preparing their trip to Lille this Saturday (7 p.m.) and Benoit Costil should be on the trip to the North. He should even hold the Bordeaux goal. Since the last match against Montpellier, the question of his future within the club has arisen seriously.
As a reminder, the international goalkeeper was taken to task by some of the supporters of the South Turn, he also had an altercation with one of the leaders of the Ultramarines before this group of supporters accused him of racism. Since then, he has decided to file a complaint after his allegations. The break is therefore total between the two parties. Benoit Costil had even announced his departure from the club after these incidents before reconsidering his position. Today, he says he is available for the club and is training normally. Management acts like nothing. The goalkeeper is still part of the group and would be at the disposal of David Guion, his coach. It remains to be seen what the reaction of the Ultramarines will be if Benoit Costil holds until the end of the season…
In any case, facing Metz in a week, Benoit Costil will not have the South Turn behind him. Not close to be precise. This will be closed, a sanction from the Professional Football League after the pyrotechnic show against Montpellier which caused the kick-off to be delayed by 15 minutes. The supporters of the South turn and in particular the Ultramarines will be relocated elsewhere in the stadium in order to be able to support the Girondins that day.
