While talking to the media, FC Girondins de Bordeaux coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 pre-quarterfinal and feels that Remi Garde might thank him for that
FC Girondins de Bordeaux coach, Francis Gillot is certainly a peculiar person. First the Frenchman said that Olympique Lyonnais will play the final of the Coupe de la Ligue and then he predicted for Les Gones to reach the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions
League. Both things happened but now, Francis Gillot’s ability to predict would be tested.
Bordeaux will play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France and Gillot has indicated a few things that would definitely favour the Aquitaine club.
With Olympique Lyonnais competing on all four fronts, fatigue would play a crucial role. Les Gones are not yet out of the Ligue 1 title race, they are in the Champions League, play the Coupe de la Ligue final in April and now face Bordeaux in the pre-quarterfinal
of the Coupe de France.
Gillot has indirectly, tried to give his counterpart some advice and says that Garde will have to make a few choices.
“The Coupe de France is not important to them. I think they will exit this competition. They have five games in a fortnight. He (Remi Garde), must make choices. Championship and Champions League are important to them and they are already in the final of
the Coupe de la Ligue.”
Gillot further added that Garde would be playing those who normally don’t get much time and if he does that, it would make a lot of sense. Gillot indicated that players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ederson-c11880 (who haven’t featured regularly),
are good players.
“There will be not gifts, it’s not what I mean, but I think they will make choices,” says Gillot who feels that despite fielding an under-strength side, Lyon will pose his side a lot of problems.
With frosty conditions, Stade de Gerland’s field has been heated. The temperature is expected to be below 9 degrees which means that the game would be a frosty affair but could heat up as is the tradition of games between the two sides.
