• The Girondins de Bordeaux sink into the crisis after their new rout against Brest (1-2) during the 15th day of Ligue 1.

  • Admar Lopes was big on the potato.

    The technical director of the club did not appreciate the attitude of the players at all.

  • Despite the increasingly tense situation, he reassured Vladimir Petkovic, his trainer, in his duties.

At Matmut Atlantique,

It's called a double or quits! A sort of poker move. And he arrives very early in the season for the Girondins de Bordeaux. But Admar Lopes had a lot on the potato (and we understand it), his patience has limits. This Sunday, after the new defeat of the Bordelais (1-2) against Brest at Matmut Atlantique, the Portuguese attacked his players, while defending his coach, Vladimir Petkovic. A cash speech but always double-edged since you never know how the parties will then respond in the field.

It was time for him to sound the alarm.

"I think that the players are not up to the history of this club", "it is still very weak at all levels" or "the players must change immediately because they are not at the level" .

The big boss of the sportsman in particular pointed out “the lack of defensive desire to win the duel” while surely thinking very strongly of Timothé Pembélé on the second Brest goal.

A few minutes earlier, he had seen the other side of the team, Ricardo Mangas, completely miss his clearance and offer the equalizer to Le Douaron.

It's a lot.

Bordeaux is 32 goals conceded in 15 games, which makes it the worst strainer in L1.

He will "harden the tone"

"I am angry because the players are able to do very good things but also very bad things," continues Admar Lopes. This lack of consistency worries me a lot. Everyone has to think about what they are doing and change their attitude very quickly. "He calls" everyone to take their responsibilities "while for Vladimir Petkovic, it is time" to look in the mirror "on all floors of the club. And the players, what do they think? Like a week ago in Metz, it was Mbaye Niang who came to the front. And for once the striker preferred to kick in touch: “I'm not going to comment on what Admar (Lopes) thinks and says. There is always a different look from the outside. We are going to hang on, we will give the maximum. I'm sure we'll get through this. "

While waiting for the answer on the ground, and it will arrive very quickly with the trip to Strasbourg on Wednesday and the reception of Lyon on Sunday, the Portuguese planned to "harden the speech and change the message" because "it is perhaps the solution ”.

After this defeat, Benoit Costil and Jimmy Briand spoke in the locker room, Admar Lopes should rather do it at the beginning of the week.

It is indeed starting to have an emergency.

“We need to be aware because by repeating the same mistakes each time, we start to be in serious danger.

Today, we have to take points.

We have to react, show a burst of pride.

We have to show that we have not given up.

When you are in the field, you have to give the maximum and if you have not understood that, you go on the sidelines, ”says Mbaye Niang.

Petko's speech "always passes"

Exactly, on the bench, it will always be with Vladimir Petkovic.

If the pressure builds from match to match around the Swiss coach, he still has the support of his management.

Is he still the man for the job?

“Yes of course, no doubts about that!

Admar Lopes responds tit for tat.

The Portuguese does not (yet) let go of his coach, whose choices are however challenging.

Why does Elis continue to play in the axis when he is much better on one side?

Why does Mensah never get a chance?

Why is Niang not starting?

I wanted to wait until the truce to judge these Girondins with many changes but after 15 days no successful match, clean sheet or Petkovic leg.

We don't even stagnate, we regress.

The only advantage: we are not yet in the season when 4 teams are going down.

If the situation seems to be tense, the speech of the former coach of the Nati “always passes” affirms the Franco-Senegalese striker.

“After that it is true when we do not win, we think that the players have let go of the coach but frankly, the speech passes.

We have seen it in previous weeks.

We just need to have this mental click, ”he adds.

It would be time for the Girondins still stuck with two wins this season and stuck in the slums of Ligue 1.
