Garande: “In Toulouse, we had a lot of joint meetings with President Damien Comolli”
Patrice Garande has just left Dijon after a complicated season. Asked by Girondine ARL radio, the former TFC coach presented himself to train FCGB: “Even if the work is huge, a club like Bordeaux with the desire to rebuild something is very captivating and motivating for a coach.”
guard also analyzed the second division championship and a comment explained he revived the TFC: “Ligue 2 is a fairly tough championship. There are very good teams. There are no small teams. It’s hard to win everywhere. This championship has the particularity of offering surprises every weekend with the little ones beating the big ones. It is both technical and very physical. Tactically, the teams are on point. The rise is gained especially in the small supposed ones. (…) You need a good balance. You don’t ride with young people. The average age of the teams that have gone up is 27-28 years old. It is above all the state of mind and behavior that make the difference. (…) Bordeaux will have to digest this descent, analyze it and start again on something else. You have to mourn what happened by talking. When the word is freed, we can project ourselves on a new project. (…) We did that with Toulouse when I was there. A descent is a trauma for the whole club, not just for the players. Everyone must be motivated and conditioned by this climb. For that, you have to evacuate the trauma by carefully analyzing what happened on and off the field. In Toulouse, we held many joint meetings with President Damien Comolli. Our ambition was to go up.”
