  • The Girondins de Bordeaux won on Friday night on the Rennes pitch.

  • Without being brilliant in the game, Jean-Louis Gasset's men have displayed values ​​that have been lacking to them since the start of the season.

  • The Bordelais relied on the talent of Ben Arfa to unlock the meeting.

At Roazhon Park,

The international break seems to have done the Girondins great good.

Stuck in the soft underbelly of the championship, Jean-Louis Gasset's men had to react after the two pants down against Monaco and Montpellier.

So they took advantage of these two weeks of cutoff to face it and work hard.

"They understood that if we continued like this, we risked having problems," said the Bordeaux coach.

⚽️After words, actions.

Finally.

We must retain the character.

But as luck would have it, some were ass on the floor at the end.

Baysse deserves to continue.

This investment in training paid off on Friday night with a precious victory on Stade Rennais (0-1).

"This victory is that of the state of mind," said Jean-Louis Gasset, proud of the face displayed by his players.

“The key word is to play together.

And when we play together, we have individualities to make the difference, ”he declared the outcome of the meeting.

The team put their ass on the ground

The lightning came from Hatem Ben Arfa who punished his former club just before half-time following a sequence of which only he has the secret.

“He wanted so much to have a good result here.

Especially since he does not like to lose and he is not used in his career to lose too much, ”said his coach.

In the wake of his playmaker, who even came to lend a hand to his defense, the whole team got down "ass on the ground", according to Paul Baysse.

"It was perhaps not our best football but we put rigor and we showed a state of mind that we lacked for several matches," said the central defender of the Girondins, who believes in a future that sing for his team.

"All is not rosy but if we show so much determination in each match, we will take points," he assured.
