Ligue 1 – Bordeaux vers la L2 : Joshua Guilavogui cible le “manque de professionnalisme criant” des Girondins

“There was a glaring lack of professionalism“, estimated without language of wood Guilavogui, captain since his arrival in January, speaking of”shame“, of”sports failure“but also hope for renewal for the club, on course to be relegated on Saturday for the first time since 1991.”We didn’t know how to do the job“, commented the defensive midfielder, believing that some of his partners had not made the necessary efforts to maintain themselves.

“I knew I had to be uncompromising about my extra-sportsmanship, that it was going to be tough on the pitch, that we can’t afford to stray. Maybe some (players) didn’t get it. I must admit, there was a lack of professionalism and it is blatant“, he asserted.

“The biggest failure of his career”

Arriving in January on loan, the former Wolfsburg player (31) failed to straighten the helm of the Bordeaux ship, a disappointment he describes as the “greatest sporting failure” of his careerst. “Jam ashamed but on the other hand I tell myself that I gave everything, I stayed true to myself, I worked, I put myself in the best conditions to be able to take up this challenge which was difficult but so beautiful to me“, he said, hinting that he could stay next year in Ligue 2 to help the club recover.

“When you have a feeling of shame, you have to quickly correct it and find the right challenge. It could be the right challenge to erase it and erase this sporting failure from my CV. I don’t rule it out. But first, there are a lot of things to restructure“, concluded the French international to the 7 selections (from 2013 to 2015).

Last in Ligue 1 with three points behind the play-off place but a crippling goal difference, Bordeaux is heading for relegation on Saturday during the last day of Ligue 1, where it will face Brest and after which it should find the lower floor for the first time since its administrative demotion in 1991.
