Still looking for their first success in the championship, the Girondins took advantage of the Coupe de France to return to victory. Traveling to FC Seudre Océan, a District club, Bordeaux won 5-0, showing great effort. However, it will take a lot more to put a smile on the faces of its supporters.
This is particularly the case of Bixente Lizarazu, questioned by Rio Mavuba on the Téléfoot set about the club’s situation with the scapular. “Do you think that the Girondins de Bordeaux club will quickly move up to national level? »asked the former midfielder, who also passed through Bordeaux and who did not hesitate to take up an amateur license to help the club this summer.
“It’s incomprehensible”
“For me, the subject is not a question of recovery. The subject is how to put solid foundations back into this club. For me, it will not be possible as long as Gérard Lopez is there, hit the 1998 world champion.
I’ll be factual. You went down from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2, then from Ligue 2 to National 2 for administrative reasons. This means he doesn’t pay his bills. Is it the person who takes you down to the bottom who will bring you back up? I have difficulty understanding. I don’t understand that in Bordeaux, Gérard Lopez is still protected to continue to digest this club. It’s incomprehensible. »
However, Gérard Lopez has a hard time hearing these criticisms and taking responsibility for the situation. “It’s not up to me to say I’m good or not good. I have proven in the past that I can be. Afterwards, you have to have a little luck. Football is not about a president, a coach, or an attacker. There, we are going to announce this week players who have absolutely nothing to do in N2 but who come because they believe in the project, the coach believes in it too, indeed recently confided the Bordeaux president. To be truly right, we will have to be right in sport and the sport does not depend only on me. There is also a lot of bad luck, a financial burden that has always existed. Am I the right president? I don’t know. Am I trying to do the right things? Yes definitely. Do I pay to do these things? Yes of course. »
