Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Scholes… Guy2Bezbar’s dream eleven!
Last night, OM made history by signing their first success in Bordeaux since 1977. An end of the series that the French press greeted this morning. In its edition, L’Equipe evokes “a clear victory“while not forgetting the weakness of the Bordelais because of the Covid by titling in One”History while coughing“. Provence, a regional daily, would have preferred another context than this closed door to best celebrate this historic moment but did not shy away from its pleasure in evoking the Phocaean domination, even speaking”attack-defense“in the first half while regretting the”lack of efficiency“of the troops of Jorge Sampaoli.
Sampaoli and Guendouzi savor!
A Jorge Sampaoli who is justly proud to be at the origin of this historic success: “I’m happy to participate in this way. I hope the people of the city are happy, because it’s a clasico and because we were made to understand it everywhere we went. It is also important for us to participate in it, I am happy for the people, the club, the president. We approach this 2nd place in the standings being happy to have put an end to this long period.“he blurted out in front of the media.
Same story with Matteo Guendouzi, who was as happy as “a child”: “For history, for the club, we were keen to break this bad spiral. We knew that with the victory, we would stay 2nd with a game behind. For all these elements, we were keen to win, I think you’ve all seen it. We were like kids, even in the locker room again. We are very happy because it brings the team together and we feel good like that. It’s not a trophy, but it was important for us, for the coach and even the players who have not played in previous years were keen to win this match and me too. Today, whatever the way, you had to win, you had to win … Those were the only words of the coach and the team. You had to win, that’s all“he launched after the meeting in remarks reported by Le Phocéen.
to summarize
The press hailed OM’s victory in Bordeaux, the first for 44 years. An end of the series that Jorge Sampaoli and Matteo Guendouzi obviously took with joy. The last named was even “like a child” after that moment in history.
