  • The Girondins were caught in the last minutes by Brest (1-1) while they were in numerical superiority on the field.
  • This new draw drove team captain Benoît Costil crazy at the end of the game.
  • The Bordelais remain in the soft stomach of Ligue 1 four points from places for European competitions.

The Girondins had everything for them in Brest. The score (1-0 with a goal from Hwang in the first half), a Costil of the big evenings who stops a penalty, in numerical superiority after the expulsion of Breton Castelletto in the 68th minute of play and even a referee not very looking at more than contentious situations in their surface. Despite this favorable wind, the players of Paulo Sousa found a way to concede a point at the end of the match and, icing on the cake, an own goal of the Swiss defender Loris Benito.

A scenario that made a man mad on the ground. One. Besides, this is perhaps the most worrying thing for the Navy and the Whites. This player is the captain and goalkeeper of the team: Benoît Costil. He even went out of his hinges several times to wake his team before the equalization and after this action committed by one of his own. And at the final whistle, he couldn't hold back his rage at the microphone of beIN Sports:

"We were stupid, we were punished. At some point, we have to realize things. If we win tonight when we have the match in hand, we come back to the right car. And we don't! We are in numerical superiority but we are in comfort, we do not do more, we think that the match is won ... Well, we are punished because when we are not at 200%, we are a small team quite simply. We got punished, it's our fault. We are the kings of idiots tonight! "

Sousa, Costil and De Préville spoke in the locker room

At least, it has the merit of being clear. Very clear ! If the Girondins continue their series of three games without defeat and they remain four points behind the European places, this is another huge disappointment for Benoît Costil when his team can not get out of the soft stomach of Ligue 1 (12e). An anger which is also explained by the incredible number of missed opportunities by the Bordeaux people facing the Stade Brestois.

The French international, still just as furious, put a layer back in the locker room while Paulo Sousa and Nicolas De Préville also spoke to remind some fundamentals, according to our information. The Portuguese coach looked disillusioned after the match: “I cannot be happy. I see players who are very relaxed at times on the field. I try to continue to educate players about the culture of winning but we need time and maybe other different players. "

It is not the first time that he talks about educating his players but the lessons do not always seem to be assimilated. Some will soon have to question themselves and listen to Paulo Sousa. From Saturday in Metz, he will have a first examination…
