FC Girondins de Bordeaux coach Francis Gillot is set to deploy defensive tactics to counter LOSC Lille in the upcoming game of 2011/12 Ligue 1 Championelle at Stade Chaban Delmas.
Bordeaux lost 3-2 in their last game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toulouse-FC-c40751, after taking a two-goal lead in the first half. The French tactician was not pleased with Les marine et blanc performance especially after the 0-0 draw against Evian TG. Gillot made sure he publicly
shook his players for their poor performance.
In a post-match interview, the Sochaux coach was quoted as saying, “[During the] downward spiral we must cling on to something positive and this first half is one of them.”
According to reports in French media the 51-year-old is planning to substitute a few defenders following their abysmal performance against Toulouse. Serbian centre-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Abdoulaye-Keita-c3255 is
reported to replace the suspended Cedric Carrasso (rather than first preference Olimp Kevin).
Francis Gillot still sees a chance for the Aquitaine-based club to bounce back and stressed on his players to have a positive attitude in the upcoming game and not to be intimidated by defending champions Lille. “We need the players to believe in themselves.
It is true that today there are not many people who believe in us, but we must believe and work to rectify the situation,” said the former Lens coach.
Bordeaux have a tough week as they face Lille and then seven-time champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 on Saturday, Week 8 of 2011/12 Ligue 1 Championnat. The Maubeuge-born confesses that the upcoming games will be tough. He was quoted as saying, “It’s all or nothing.
Maybe the big guns of the championship who we face in the next two matches might complicate things for us.”
Les Girondins are 13th in Week 6 of the 2011/12 Ligue 1 standings. Bordeaux will have to work on their defence as they seek to get the best positive results against two of the most in-form Ligue 1 teams right now.
