Bordeaux seems to be going through a tough time, with tensions among the players and comments from Fahid Ben Khalfallah criticizing his teammates. After the elimination against Montpellier in the Coupe de la Ligue, coach Francis Gilot had referred to his players as “tourists.” Ben Khalfallah responded by stating, “There are some who are stupid in this team. I mean, there are some who don’t realize their self-importance, you have to tickle them, push them because it’s not in them.”
Teammate Ludovic Obraniak acknowledged the coach’s attempt to create a wake-up call but also mentioned that dirty laundry should be washed in private. The team will be looking to improve its performance in the upcoming matches.
