  • Bordeaux lost for the first time this season in Ligue 1 Saturday in Lens (2-1).

  • Beyond the defeat, it is especially the way that disappointed Girondins beaten in all levels.

  • Jean-Louis Gasset and Loris Benito did not hide when they assumed the defeat.

At least they assume.

Dominated in large widths Saturday in Lens, much more than the final score (2-1) suggests, the Girondins did not hide when explaining this non-mach.

The prize for the franchise went unanimously to Loris Benito.

The Bordeaux side had strong words in returning to the catastrophic performance of his team.

“I think we were worse than them in every aspect of the game. We were bad physically, technically, tactically, mentally.

We shouldn't be surprised if we don't win the match.

In football, there are defeats that cannot be explained, this one can be explained.

If you're so bad, I don't see how you can win the game.

It was absolutely zero.

», Dropped the defender.

Two fatal defensive mistakes

A cash confession that could cause a stir within the Girondin group which, like all teams, always prefers to avoid washing its dirty laundry in public.

Missed.

However, in order not to overwhelm his players too much, Jean-Louis Gasset was the first to appear in a press conference to say that the defeat was for him and his tactical choices.

“The main culprit in this defeat is me.

I was perhaps a little ambitious to want to put an offensive team to win in Lens.

I didn't know that we were going to be beaten in envy, duels, investment and also in technique because we made guilty mistakes.

I was wrong, it happens, ”admits the technician.

But Gasset is far from being the only culprit of this rout in Artois.

So far impermeable, the Gironde defense has cracked in great widths.

Two defensive errors gave the Lensois two goals.

First an insecure back pass from Oudin to Costil that Ganago grabbed (47th).

Then, a stroller in the area of ​​Baysse on Ganago (again him) with double fatal penalty: red card and penalty (59th).

A rebound expected next Sunday against Nice

“We give both goals on technical faults when we just had to play it quietly.

When we come out of a rout like this, we might come back to much simpler things.

It's a very bad evening, ”notes Jean-Louis Gasset.

It now remains to bounce back as quickly as possible.

The reception of Nice next Sunday will provide an element of response between the thesis of the accident for a team so far undefeated or the theory of nullity developed by Benito.

In Gironde, everyone hopes that this is the first option that will be chosen.
