• The Girondins de Bordeaux lost for the tenth time in twelve matches in Ligue 1, this time against Monaco (0-3) this Sunday.

  • In full rout, Jean-Louis Gasset tries to stay the course and tries to persuade his people that the club will get by.

  • To fight against "negative waves" around the team, he wants to go on a training course far from the Gironde before the decisive match against Lorient in a week.

“The chalice to the dregs”, this is what the Girondins de Bordeaux are currently experiencing for their trainer, Jean-Louis Gasset. Difficult indeed to say anything else after the new defeat of his team against Monaco (0-3) this Sunday at Matmut Atlantique. The tenth in the last twelve games of Ligue 1. The Navy and White have only five points ahead of the red zone, five days from the end of the season. "I do not live these moments, admits the former assistant to Laurent Blanc, the opponent has outclassed us today!" The winds are contrary and it blows hard in our face. The curse continues ”.

⚽️Laurent @ 6_LKOSCIELNY felt pain on a support (Achilles tendon according to Gasset), the staff did not take any risk and will see cold tomorrow with an MRI.

More fear than harm or big tile for the captain of the @girondins?

It is true that he may begin to wonder if a black cat is walking the halls of the club. Facing ASM, Jean-Louis Gasset was entitled to the injury of his captain Laurent Koscielny in the first half, to the red card against his young midfielder Tom Lacoux then to the strike of Nicolas De Préville on the post who could have given hope to his team. All of this might not have changed the end result as his players are missing a lot, but still! At the moment, black is black among the Girondins. So, the Bordeaux coach is attached to what he can:

I did not see a team that had given up, I saw a combative team.

She didn't give up!

With this state of mind, I am convinced that we will get there!

I don't think the players feel the weight of relegation.

You have to keep your cool.

"

He wants to go away from "negative waves"

This is the promise of psychologist Gasset even after such a series. At the moment, it is his main job: to fight against the ambient sinistrosis to avoid seeing an entire club finish its race in Ligue 2. For this, he recalls that the pact made between the players last week during a " family reunion ”is valid until the end of the season. Jean-Louis Gasset, the only one now to speak out after games since his players are no longer ready to take responsibility for their actions, also wants to fight against "negative waves" to get his team out of the doldrums. Which ones? Those of the press articles of course, and perhaps also those of the conflict between the supporters and the management of the club while its own president,Frédéric Longuépée has just lodged a complaint against X for “defamation and incitement to commit an offense against him” following a poster campaign which called for his capture. Supporters have already been summoned to the police station.

Gasset's plan is therefore to leave far from Bordeaux before the trip to Lorient next Sunday.

The ten kilometer rule had better watch out.

“In our heads, we will be in the same mood as when we went to Dijon, he explains, but I think we will leave a little earlier this time in the week, perhaps leave. be doing a mini-internship ”.

Why not, since he has tried almost everything until now, except perhaps the commando course.

But not sure that the Warchief transforms players in doubt and on the brink of the abyss into warriors in the space of a few days.

The bet is taken.
