The FC Girondins de Bordeaux captain knows that Les Girondins need to be at their best if they want to get something out of the game against AS Saint-Etienne on Thursday
Les marine et blanc play host to European hopefuls, Saint-Etienne, in the Ligue 1 on Thursday and Bordeaux, who have lost only twice this season and are unbeaten at home, would be hoping to continue their fine run in the league.
Team captain, Jaroslav Plasil, has heaped praised on Les Verts and has warned his teammates of taking Saint-Etienne lightly. While talking to reporters, the 30-year-old stated that ASSE have performed really well this season and they have caused all kinds
of trouble to every team they have faced.
"They are having a great start to the season.”
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 international said that their Thursday’s opponents have a number of quality individuals at their disposal and their goalkeeper is a great asset to them. They are playing quality football and are a very dangerous side to play against.
Talking about Saint-Etienne’s loss to Lyon last week, Plasil said that Les Verts were unlucky to lose that game and that result holds little importance when it comes to Thursday’s game.
"They are a team full of outstanding individuals, including their goalkeeper. They play good football and are in good form just now. They were unlucky to lose against Lyon, so I don't think they need to be too concerned."
The 30-year-old added that Paris Saint-Germain and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 are pulling away from the rest with each day passed. However, there are many teams in the league who are separated by only a point or two.
"Two teams are pulling away, Lyon and Paris, then there are five, even six teams who are all separated by just a couple of points so it is all still to play for.”
Jaroslav Plasil said that although Bordeaux have lost some points recently, they still have the ability to return to their best form and is eying maximum points on Thursday to send out a strong message.
“We are still up there even if we have dropped a lot of points at home”
