Clément Carpentier / 20 Minutes

  • The Girondins, 15th in Ligue 1, are plunged into a serious sport with 10 defeats in the last 12 games.

  • The management of the club, via Frédéric Longuépée, renewed its confidence in Jean-Louis Gasset despite this black series.

  • Not far from being helpless in the face of this situation, the Bordeaux coach does not give up and is not in the optics of abandoning his team.

Where will the descent into hell of the Girondins de Bordeaux stop?

Maybe in Ligue 2 in a few weeks.

The hypothesis is more relevant than ever after the new heavy defeat of the Navy and White in Saint-Etienne (4-1).

The 9th in 11 Ligue 1 games. Jean-Louis Gasset's players are only six points ahead of the red zone six days from the end of the season.

It is a lot and a little at the same time.

But above all little when reading the dynamics for two and a half months.

Only Dijon did worse over this period.

The evil is deep, very deep.

"I do not know what to say, I do not have the words, it's horrible, confessed defender Paul Baysse at the final whistle, we will try to keep our head at work, but it hurts.

Bad because no one sees the slightest ray of light at the end of the tunnel.

Everything is dark at the moment in the Girondins.

Alain Roche, the club director, acknowledged at the microphone of Canal + that "the players were dejected" while noting "the few reactions" from the team and "this feeling of abandonment at times.

"The situation is such that it pushed the very silent CEO of the club, Frédéric Longuépée, to leave his reserve for the first time in months with

Sud Ouest:

" We are in danger: if we continue like this, our fate will depend on others.

If I have a message, it is the call to individual and collective responsibility and to unity ”.

In search of electroshock

A new call for general mobilization a week after that of Jean-Louis Gasset.

A coach still standing despite the storm.

No question of letting go for him as explained by a close friend of the first team at

20 Minutes:

It's more difficult than expected but at this time… No, he doesn't want to give up!

We have to let the season end, finally have a victory and prepare for the rest.

"

If the rumors of a departure at the end of the season are becoming more and more insistent, internally some say that JLG regularly plans for the next season.

The management, for its part, renewed its confidence in its trainer at the start of the week by the voice of Frédéric Longuépée: “Once again, I am not looking for an electric shock of this nature.

"If we can blame the former assistant to Laurent Blanc for his handling of the Ben Arfa case or some risky tactical choices over the season, he is far from being the main cause of this situation.

Not sure at all that someone else would do better for him.

Internally, promoting a Yaroslav Plasil or the service temp that Eric Bédouet may be is unlikely.

The two men having too much respect for the boss to take his place overnight.

So what does the CEO of the Girondins mean when he claims to “think about everything” and to have “evoked broken sticks solutions” last week to create this electroshock?

Take a mental trainer like at a certain time to lead a commando mission over the last six days?

Not sure that Jean-Louis Gasset and his locker room are open to such a solution.

Eliminate players from the pro group?

"And the human in there and then in Nantes they did it, what has changed?

“, Responds tit for tat a close to the club.

One thing is certain, the Girondins will have to find something because otherwise ...
