the view of the 1999 French champion François Grenet

Unifying events?

After the dramatic Bordeaux-Montpellier, on and off the field, and the tensions that followed, this victory certainly in a friendly match, certainly against the 19th in the league could not be so anecdotal. Why not imagine that in the face of adversity, the group becomes a team? Mixed feelings for the 1999 French champion, François Grenet

Perhaps an event ultimately unifying within the workforce? I dare to hope because the levers to be operated today there aren’t many left, there aren’t practically any more. The match against Alaves in Bayonne, I don’t know what the background was, the behavior of the team in its attitude, in its quality of play. But we are geographically far from Bordeaux, we go out of context, in a neutral context and maybe we are more liberated. Maybe it’s easier, in quotes, but after that, that’s what counts, it’s the official matches and the league matches. There aren’t many left – François Grenet

The best way to answer is the field!

After the locker room press release published in support of Benoit Costil and Laurent Koscielny, can we imagine a close-knit group and players ready to fight for each other? The terrain is the only revealer according to Yon Ecenarro of France Blue Gironde

If they are really united, it is a way of showing it, indeed. It’s good to talk, to issue press releases, but the best way to respond is on the ground, to unite around Benoît Costil and show that they want to get out of it, but with their feet not with their mouth. It’s always better to start with a victory in a friendly match and against Alaves, we showed mentality. For once, we came back to a match, an equalizer from Niang in the 75th and Mangas in the 87th – Yon Ecenarro

One can of course hope, but that is not the problem.

And this is not the first time that the group has shown spirit and solidarity! On several occasions during the season, the team came back to the score when they were trailing. Hoping for a psychological rebound after the events of the last 10 days is not the idea because the problem is elsewhere according to Clement Carpentier 20 minutes

I’m very skeptical about that because already, for me, the major problem with this team isn’t a problem of state of mind, solidarity or players shooting each other in the leg, precisely, it’s what their coach accuses them of being too nice to each other. For me today, the problem of the Girondins de Bordeaux is on the one hand tactical since they are unable to make a match without conceding a goal, and on the other hand technical since they cannot put a goal at 11 against 9. Me, I return to the basics of football and today, the problem of the Girondins de Bordeaux, it is technical – Clément Carpentier

The optimists and fans of the Girondins de Bordeaux will cling to all the signs for the 9 games still to be played and 27 points to take. The home straight begins Saturday at 9:00 p.m. in Lille. A match to live live and in full on France Bleu Gironde.
