Jean-Louis Gasset announced after the victory against Brest (1-0), on December 6, that“One day or another, it wouldn’t be just Ben Arfa”, that other players would take over to carry the Bordelais, without knowing exactly who and when. Yesterday, HBA remained within its standards: decisive passer from a corner, the attacking midfielder is now involved in the last four goals scored by players from the Girondins (2 goals, 2 assists). For the rest, the defeat suffered against Lille did not greatly advance the schmilblick: neither Nicolas de Préville nor Rémi Oudin – both holders after being downgraded since the 8th and 10th days – did not do enough to imagine that the competition is (finally) in full swing in the Girondins. “Not at all, they were very good, yet assured Gasset when asked if the performance of the two former Remois had left him hungry. They played the game I expected of them. In this period, you have to use people who are a little bitter, give everyone a chance, they have made their game. “
