For Bordeaux Le Magthe journalist Lawrence Brown referred to the departures of My junior et
Dilane Bakwa. Have the Girondins de Bordeaux shrunk?
” I think so. I hope the future will prove us wrong. Dilane Bakwa, we know his qualities of speed and percussion, even if very often this player lacks lucidity and does not necessarily raise his head at the right time… He is young, he has the qualities and faults of youth. He is a hard-hitting, lively player with a sharp dribble and he is very promising, even if in the second half of the season he was a little less visible because he was also a little more targeted. Him, it is sure that he will perhaps miss this season. And Junior Mwanga, for me, behind, it’s his central defender position… I didn’t find him very efficient in the midfield. I’m not saying he doesn’t have the qualities to play there, but I find him a dilettante in this position. He makes his defense take risks, whereas in central defense he is much more intractable and for me, against Pau, that was obvious. Yes, I think that Bordeaux, at this level, has diminished from a sporting point of view. Now, from an economic point of view, obviously at the price of 20 million euros it is interesting for the club, knowing that these are two boys who have been at the training center since the age of 13 and 16 . Sorry to talk like that, but it pays off. At the financial level, Bordeaux is not diminishing, but not at the sporting level, it is obvious”.
Once again sold family jewels and there are no more, Bordeaux is condemned to go up.
“Yes, that’s for sure, and we didn’t talk about Malcom Bokélé. They are still players who were the strength of the Girondins last season. And all the strength is needed to get back up… It’s imperative. Wish the rookies and veterans can do something good. I’m not worried even if the defeat in Pau raises questions. I’m not sure it’s a lack of humility, but still, we’ll have to be humble. Bordeaux is obviously one of the favourites, but it’s more the media who rightly put it in the press, not Bordeaux. Be careful, we must not let ourselves be intoxicated by this kind of thing, and against Pau it was a scathing call to order. I don’t think the Girondins were smug, I didn’t find it in the game or in the attitude, but be careful all the same. I think that there, it will wake everyone up, if there was a little drowsiness after the heavy athletic preparation”.
