un record déjà battu cette année !
Narrowly drafted into Ligue 2, Bordeaux started their season with four points from a possible six. David Guion must deal with a relatively young workforce to compensate for injuries and the lack of reinforcements. Despite all this puzzle, the coach achieved a record.
During the first Bordeaux outings against Valenciennes (0-0) and Rodez (0-3), the Girondins coach lined up the club’s two youngest squads for at least 15 years, according to Opta. Against VAFC, the average age of the starting XI was 22 years and 53 days and facing the Ruthenians, she was 23 years and 1 day. Impressive statistics which showed the club’s complicated transfer window to the scapular, without the consequent arrival of experienced players. According to journalist Clément Charpentier, David Guion would have aligned at least six players from the training center, at each meeting. With these two eleven lined up, the Girondins de Bordeaux are obviously the youngest team in Ligue 2 BKT.
Another record but this time individual has been broken! Still according to Clément Charpentier, the young Marvin DeLima (18 years old) entered the but the fastest for the Girondins on his first appearance. He scored only 2 minutes and 20 seconds after coming into play facing Rodez. This makes him the fastest scorer (L1 and L2 combined) in club history ahead of Yann Karamoh or Adam Ounas.
Experience for young people!
Present at a press conference this Thursday morning, the Girondins coach spoke about his young group which must be accompanied and especially put in confidence in order to be regular at most high level. ” It is important to explain to them that the high level is regularity. We cannot put ourselves in difficulty in a match because we stop playing. This youth, you have to frame it, guide it, accompany it, let it live from time to time and above all give them the confidence to play with enthusiasm and not play with the handbrake. “, explained David Guion. Behind, the coach spoke about the lack of recruits as well as players already present who cannot yet play. ” The club works daily to free up the payroll to then complete the group. We hope that by the end of the month, we will have boys to strengthen the group. We must bring maturity to this group, I salute the professionalism of Nsimba and Barbet who train all week without being able to play, they wait patiently despite the lack of adrenaline of the weekend. »
Despite its young workforce which is off to a good start in Ligue 2, Bordeaux will have to recruit experienced players who will be crucial for the coming season!
