Football (Ligue 1, 22nd day): Before Bordeaux / Strasbourg: do not turn the other cheek … – ARL

January 21, 2022

Chasing away doubt and the sword of Damocles, such will be the double challenge of the Girondins this Sunday, January 23 in a Matmut which will find a little public for a match that could not be more capital. After the football lesson received in Alsace on the way out (5-2) a month and a half ago, then the Breton thrashing (6-0), there is no question of turning the other cheek for a group whose reaction of pride, which we hope is similar to that which he displayed against Lyon the day after the Alsatian spanking. A group diminished more by injuries and suspensions now (Costil, injured but less seriously than expected, and Sissokho, suspended after his expulsion from Rennes) than by Covid cases. But how to go about stopping the offensive armada of a Racing which has been walking on water for two months (5 wins out of its last 6 outings in L1) and which has just won its late match in Clermont without shaking? in the middle of the week (2-0)? A real turning point which, depending on its outcome, could have immediate consequences on Vladimir Petkovic’s future in Gironde and perhaps even on the club’s winter transfer window, if it materializes, ten days before the buzzer, so that the transfer of Kalu to Watford (3.5 M€) does not yet seem to have been definitively settled due to an administrative problem linked to the entry into English territory of a foreign worker.
