The first thing: I don’t usually talk about arbitration, but this is a scandal. There are two clear penalties not whistled, and on the Valenciennes goal, there is a foul on Vipi (Zan Vipotnik) and offside. The opposing coach (Ahmed Kantari) said that we had better luck. He must say that he was lucky on his goal. Regarding our team, you know that I will never be 100% happy. At half-time, I told my players: “We are not Valenciennes. We don’t play the lottery. » We made four passes, they made four passes. No. We are Bordeaux and we have the quality to do more. When we make 10-12 passes, when we play with width in the first zone, when we attack deep from the second zone, when we do that calmly, we put the opponent in difficulty. We gave them a 45-minute gift, telling them: you can play. As we prepared it, we should have won this match 4 or 5-0. We gave them situations on simple lost balls.
In the second half, we were more intense, more decisive. We understood that we needed patience with the ball. We hit 18 times, 10 on target, that’s not bad. But at 2-0, I had the feeling that it was us who were losing: we were playing very quickly while it was up to the opponent to come and get the ball. The last 10 minutes didn’t please me, we no longer respected what we wanted to put in place, we had the impression that everyone could press anywhere.
You scored your first two goals from set pieces. Is it a relief in the absence of being effective in the game?
The thirty minutes yesterday (Monday) to prepare them did some good. It needs to be worked on. There is a strategy and then there is the opponent who counts. We prepare things, we have to show it on the pitch, that’s why when I see pressure that we shouldn’t do, I don’t like it.
We feel less satisfied with the content than at Auxerre (3-1 defeat) last Monday. Do you feel like you had a worse match?
No. I don’t want to just look at the result. In the first half, there was a lack of rhythm with the ball, you have to play faster to surprise the opponent. We cannot give the ball back to the opponent too quickly. We don’t have a direct game. We must press well, have superiority at the heart of the game, provoke the opponent.
What did you think of Emmanuel Biumla’s match, scorer for his third professional start?
I’m happy with everyone. I need everyone. We played three games in 8 days, I want everyone to be happy and feel ready to start as a starter. This is my objective on a psychological level.
Will the transfer window change between now and the match against Angers next Monday?
