Frédéric Antonetti : “Bordeaux est une équipe qui est dans la même situation que la nôtre, dotée de bons joueurs”
Frederic Antonetti, the coach of FC Metz, spoke about Sunday’s meeting against the Girondins de Bordeaux.
“This weekend, we will be without Fabien Centonze and Habib Maïga. They are all in the recovery phase. We will manage to find the right date so that they do not relapse. Against Monaco, we showed good things and we are capable of showing them again. I am thinking in particular of Thomas Delaine, who did not succeed in everything but who made ten climbs and who animated his corridor well. Now I hope we’ll find some trust […] If there is a different preparation in anticipation of this match of Bordeaux? I don’t like to upset habits. We know that the next five games will be decisive and Bordeaux are the first in the series. At the start of the season, against Montpellier in a friendly and against Lille, I thought it had taken, but we did not manage to line up a series. Bordeaux is the first on the list. We’ll see where we are after these five games.”
Then he talked a bit more about his opponent.
“Bordeaux is a team that is in the same situation as ours, with good players, but I prefer to focus on my team. Sunday, there will undoubtedly be tension because it is not on a match that the players will succeed in freeing themselves. It is therefore necessary to restore this state of affairs. This morning, in training, we saw offensive animation, with enthusiasm and pleasure. Now we have to manage to transfer that into a match. I hope we will achieve this in the 20% of the championship that we have left to play”.
