Bordeaux ‍: Holidays prohibited, Lopez believes in the match to be replayed

In the aftermath of the disaster scenario experienced in Bordeaux, the owner of the Girondins thinks she can once again avoid the worst for her club. And the players were asked to cancel their holidays.

While the Ultramarines have apologized, but have endorsed the fact that their team will still play in Ligue 2 next season, Gérard Lopez does not share this opinion. Since Friday, and even if his team was led 0-1 by Rodez when a Bordeaux supporter came on the lawn to attack the opposing scorer, the boss of the Girondins thinks he can resume this match. A year after having succeeded in bending the football authorities to allow Bordeaux to play in Ligue 2, the former manager of Lille has promised to multiply legal remedies so that the Championship does not end Friday evening in chaos. And for that, he also sent a message this Saturday to his staff and players.

Bordeaux postpones its holidays

Indeed, the Ligue 2 championship being over, everyone had to go on vacation or join different selections. But everything was cancelled. ” Sporting director Admar Lopes and coach David Guion told the players that they had to postpone their holidays. Those who were to leave this Sunday in selection will also stay. The next meeting is set for Monday. They will continue to train until the Professional Football League Competitions Committee decides whether or not to replay the game. “, specifies the daily Sud-Ouest. For the Girondins de Bordeaux, the idea is not only to resume the match, but above all to hope that the LFP does not give the slightest penalty point. During recent sanctions of this type, the disciplinary committee had replayed matches (OL-OM, Nice-OM) but inflicting a penalty point. If this were to be the case, then Bordeaux could no longer catch up with Metz. But at least Annecy, relegated if Rodez wins, can no longer feel aggrieved.
