Bordeaux changed coach, Bordeaux recruited Brief Bordeaux returned.
From an accounting point of view, the victory against Troyes would already be an excellent deal. But it would also be a good move from a psychological point of view. This is the opinion of Philippe Fargeon, author of the cup/championship double in 1987 with the Girondins de Bordeaux
Everything is in place to, in a strategy that may be more offensive in my opinion, allow us to show that Bordeaux have returned, Bordeaux have changed coaches, Bordeaux have recruited and we can count on Bordeaux to get by. and to have a slightly quieter end to the season. Everything is in place, but now we have to get the results – Philippe Fargeon
Do not forget that on paper, we are favorites.
And the Girondins must above all not appear in front of Troyes with complexes. It’s the feeling of Yon Ecenarro of France Blue Gironde who would like, beyond this or that tactical scheme, a winning team
We have to go and attack them in the good sense of the term, go get them a bit like the first half against Strasbourg. That doesn’t mean you have to play with four attackers, but you have to have an attacking mindset, you can’t just think about defending or playing too low. You have to get the block back up, be at the dry cleaners, pick them up and push them to their limits. Not to mention that on paper, we do not have to fade in front of a Trojan team. We are favourites. We must not say that because we are last we would be less good. On paper we are the favorite – Yon Ecenarro
Metz, Saint-Etienne and Lorient will come to play in Bordeaux, we have to send a strong message.
The challenge is therefore beyond the three points. After having stopped the spiral of defeats, reduced the number of goals conceded, we must now make an impression and send a strong message to Metz, Saint-Etienne and Lorient so that they know that their trip to Bordeaux will not be a part of pleasure.
Today, I think we’re starting to have defensive stability and so we have to take advantage of this to, whatever the organization of the game, get them as high as possible to show them that here, we go more often play in their 20 meters than in our 60 meters. In any case, during the first 25 minutes, you have to show that they are with us and then that it will be very hard to come and win in Bordeaux – Philippe Fargeon
Not to mention that this 27th day is also the reception of Lyon by Lorient and the direct opposition between Metz and Saint-Etienne. Sunday at the end of Bordeaux-Troyes, the classification will be of vital importance for the race to maintain.
