It was a bit of a ball for the crippled on Tuesday evening between two teams lacking confidence: on the one hand a Bordeaux under pressure from its stands and an almost imperative climb. On the other, a Stade Malherbe Caen without a single point scored in the last four days.
If at the end of the match, the two teams shared the points (1-1), it was David Guion who was the big loser due to lack of successful offensive players.
“What do you want me to blame on my team? saddened the Bordeaux coach as he left Matmut Atlantique alone. We had everything, we blocked all the transitions. We made crosses, strikes, approaches in the axis… Unfortunately there was no victory in the end. My team currently lacks confidence, which means that in a while with confidence I think we will win it 3-1 or 4-1.”
Because if football is played with the feet, it is also played a lot in the heads. We dare not imagine in what state of mind the Caennais would have emerged from a fifth defeat. “The psychological impact is important in footballconfirms SMC full-back Valentin Henry. And we see that, when we fail on one, two or three results, the psychological aspect comes more and more into account. It also shows the quality of our group to dig deep into the resources to be able to achieve a result in Bordeaux. This is not trivial either, it should not be neglected. We managed to turn around with our current state of form.”
So yes Caen repelled the attacks thanks to an excellent Anthony Mandréa in goal. Yes, Malherbe still struggled to keep the ball in the middle of the field and didn’t have a single shot in the second half. But the important thing was to get my head back on track.
The draw in Bordeaux will take a weight off the shoulders of the Caennais failing to resolve the staffing concerns (Absences of Mathias Autret in Bordeaux and exit due to injury of Brahim Traoré, upcoming suspension of Valentin Henry and convalescence of Bilal Brahimi). There is one last push left in Rodez this Saturday before the international break. It will be important to confirm this point obtained in Bordeaux for the Sang et Or. “That’s football, agrees Brahim Traoré. We don’t have much time to savor. We’re going to have to be strong in our minds to be able to get a point or a victory in Rodez.”
