The reaction of Jerome Dauba, coach of the Girondines, after the elimination of Bordeaux on the lawn of La Roche-sur-Yon in the 16th round of the Coupe de France.

"[This is] a big disappointment because we set ourselves the goal of going as far as possible in this Cup. We had also given ourselves the means to approach as best as possible this meeting. I think we have a very good first period. We created a lot of opportunities, situations, we played a lot in their camp, we made the game, we had the ball. After that, we created situations, we failed to achieve, we were not bad enough in the finishing area and then behind in the second half, we were punished on two sides. "

(...)

What happened in the second half? There was mastery in the first period, and then when La Roche came back with other intentions, and we had the impression that Bordeaux could not hold the shock
After La Roche put us in danger on long balloons in our backs. We had prepared for it. We knew that by playing high, we exposed ourselves to these long balloons, after it is true that by taking several balloons in the back, we start to back and then little by little, he made us back and then we ended up cracking. Afterwards, we should have continued to play higher and put more balls in their camp to force them too to back.

On this match, you found yourself doing the game, while Bordeaux may be more comfortable on the game against, fast attacks on the sides ...
"After that you have to be as realistic. On the second part of the championship, we will play big teams. So indeed, we know we will not have the ball (...) that we are very strong and very good at countering. But we also know that we will have big deadlines against Albi, Metz, Rodez or even Saint-Etienne. We will have to make the game, we take points so it was also a goal to say: "What are we able to do by going to play at the opponent, doing Game ? ".

"We have objectives, work axes in this area so we know we can have two ways to play. It's up to us to perfect ourselves in these two systems. "

What role for Ghoutia Karchouni? New Bordeaux rookie who started in midfield in front of the defense on this match ...
"She can play at any position in the middle, she's a passing player, a relay player, who is a bit like a box-to-box, able to go forward. I wanted to see her in this register today, I saw some interesting things after she must resume the rhythm of the D1, it has not had much on the last seasons either. It will be up to her to quickly get to the level of the D1. "
