In over three months, he has made 9 appearances, started 4 matches, played for 483 minutes, and scored only 1 goal. These statistics reflect his difficulty in rediscovering his top form, leading to concerns about his performance. His recent absence from the starting lineup against Montpellier further highlights his struggles.
Bordeaux’s coach, Francis Gillot, addressed Hoarau’s situation, stating that he did not feature in the Montpellier game because he was not in good physical condition. Gillot acknowledged signs of improvement in training but emphasized that Hoarau needs to demonstrate more on the field, particularly by scoring goals, which was one of the reasons why he was brought to the club.
Given his poor form, there are doubts about whether Hoarau will fulfill the expectations set for him during his six-month contract with Bordeaux. This situation is particularly concerning for Hoarau, who previously admitted that financial considerations motivated his move to China.
