After influencers yesterday, the journalists of 20 minutes, Sud-Ouest and France Bleu Gironde who have followed the navy and white all season, were kind enough to engage in the exercise of tops and flops. Clement Carpentier 20 minutes, Vincent Romain of South West and Yvan Plantey of France Bleu Gironde do not stop at the same names.
The 2021/2022 tops: Alberth Elis, Danylo Ignatenko and Hwang Ui-Jo.
Alberth Elis Because for once, he is surely the best player of the season. And then in addition, we saw how much he missed the team at the end of the season, which hardly managed to score a goal when it was still the small strength of the team. I found him to be an attacker who was extremely efficient in front of goal. So I think he’s a striker who has his place in Ligue 1, or even in a good Ligue 1 club. Obviously, he risks leaving the club this summer. I’m not making anything up by saying that. But yes, Alberth Elis is the good surprise and unfortunately it is perhaps the only good surprise of all the Girondins de Bordeaux rookies this season – Clément Carpentier
I would also put a rookie it is Danylo Ignatenko that we really didn’t expect at this level since when he was recruited in January, we said to ourselves that he was more of a complementary player. And I even believe that he was presented as someone who we are going to prepare for the six months and who will be there especially for next season, if we were still in Ligue1 and in the end he imposed himself fairly quickly and I think that at the end of the season, no one said to himself he must be taken out of the eleven. I even think he was one of the first we put on because he was always on fire, with intensity, in duels, not clumsy with his feet. And in the end, these are qualities that we haven’t really seen in the Girondins midfielders this season – Vincent Romain
I’ll put Hwang Ui-Jo. He is a striker who has been overheated for a large part of the season and who then sank like the team. But he’s still a striker, who when he arrived three years ago, we were more accustomed to alternating between cleaning the skylights and watering the north bend. And I find that there, for once, he was more effective than the average. So he misses a huge one against Nantes but of the five wins of the season, he is at least a craftsman on half. So I think he’s a player who could also bring us some money – Yvan Plantey
The flops of this season: Vladimir Petkovic, Yacine Adli and Fransergio.
Vladimir Petkovic, because he is a renowned coach who has done a very good job for ten years within the Swiss selection and who has completely screwed up with the Girondins de Bordeaux and moreover beyond having screwed up in the results, I was disappointed by his management, by the few solutions he found, by the few things he changed, even in his way of training the team as he went along weeks, months, seeing that it wasn’t working, in his attitude too. The fact of not hearing him raise his voice at least once when with his CV, he could do it, in front of this locker room. And then it was still him who finally planted the team until the end of January – Clément Carpentier
Yacine Adli It’s more of a disappointment compared to what we expected of him, because last season we saw really good games, it was intermittent and we thought maybe this season he was finally going find the expected regularity. In addition, we know that he was on loan from Milan, so we said to ourselves, but he may want to walk well to get in shape next season at his new club. Then finally, apart from a few good games in the first half of the season, he completely disappeared. Too much technical waste, there are matches where he missed almost everything when he is someone who has the ball and then even sometimes in the attitude, we had the impression that he was not there , that he was not concerned, whereas he is a good guy – Vincent Romain
fransergio I’ve always thought he’s a player who technically wasn’t bad, but he can’t turn around, look forward, play forward and that’s the problem, it’s that Football is played vertically. You can pass laterally, it won’t move you forward. So he’s a player who, in addition to having a huge cart behind him, has never managed to get right in my opinion – Yvan Plantey
Three journalists, three observers, three enthusiasts and different choices each time. This makes it possible to underline that if there were several disappointments, there were also several satisfactions.
