At Roazhon Park,
They drank the chalice to the dregs.
In the midst of a crisis, the Girondins de Bordeaux have had a very shitty week, like their season so far.
It had started strong at Haillan with the shelving of six players, including captain Laurent Koscielny.
And the ordeal continued this Sunday afternoon on the lawn of Roazhon Park where Vladimir Petkovic's men were humiliated by Stade Rennais (6-0).
6 - Bordeaux suffered against Rennes this afternoon (0-6) its biggest setback in Ligue 1 since January 18, 1986, in Monaco (0-9).
Historical.

As often, the Bordeaux team was apathetic and the defense, the worst in the championship with 50 goals conceded, at bay.
At the end of this correction, the former coach of the Nati refused to overwhelm his players, assuming "all the responsibilities".
"I failed to push the players enough, to help them free themselves from fear," he said.
And when you're scared, you can hardly play football."
Reduced to ten just after the locker room
From the start of the match, the Girondins were taken by the throat by vengeful Rennes who created several chances before Martin Terrier found the opening half-hour mark. Bruno Genesio's players then made the break just before half-time on a magnificent direct free kick from Bourigeaud before the Girondins, reduced to ten with the expulsion of Issouf Cissokho, completely collapsed in second.
“After the 2-0, we made easy mistakes and we were afraid to be on the pitch, he regretted.
This must not happen again”.
Asked in the post-match conference to find out if he felt threatened after this new disillusionment, Vladimir Petkovic kicked into touch.
“I am a fighter, he assured.
I'm a lion, it's my astrological sign, and I never let go.
“If we continue like this, we go straight to Ligue 2”
In any case, he will need courage to put his team back in place as the performance was catastrophic this Sunday.
“We will first have to find calm, it is essential”, estimated the coach of the Girondins, engaged more than ever in the fight against maintenance.
"We have to approach matches in a more combative way, with the desire to win at all costs," he continued.
Enock Kwateng 🗣 "With this kind of performance, we go straight to Ligue 2."

We would also have liked to talk about this "desire" with the Bordeaux players but none of them stopped in the mixed zone.
Questioned after the meeting by the Amazon teams, Enock Kwateng, however, confided his shame after the unworthy performance of his team.
“If we continue like this, it is clear that we are going straight to Ligue 2!
“, he let go.
