Football Bordeaux – Costil accused, Ultras “sold”, Bordeaux explodes!

Sportingly, the Girondins de Bordeaux are heading towards Ligue 2, but the situation around the club with the scapular is becoming explosive. Even among the Ultras, we tear each other apart and Benoît Costil focuses this violent crisis.

The defeat (0-2) on Sunday against Montpellier, when Bordeaux played 11 against 9 throughout the second period, was too much for some of the Girondin supporters, who went to hold David Guion’s players to account at the exit of the Matmut Atlantique. But before that, the tension had been great just at the break, since Benoît Costil took the lead with Ultras, the goalkeeper ending up calling them ” sold “, gesture of the hand in support, which earned him to return to the locker room under the protection of stewards under the insults. If the Bordeaux goalkeeper thus described those responsible for the supporters, it is because on the side of the Girondins, the interview with Gérard Lopez last week in L’Equipe made noise, including among the most hardened fans. Indeed, the owner of the club confided that even before buying the club he was in contact with Florian Brunet, the very influential spokesman of the Ultramarines Bordeaux 1987, Gérard Lopez and his staff even having regular ” work meetings with the UB87s. What obviously change the vision that some of this group of supporters and its leaders have and explains the “sold” released by Benoît Costil.

Costil must be fired, the Ultras are sold out, warm atmosphere in Bordeaux

In response to this, and via their Twitter account, the Ultras accused Benoît Costil of having had “scandalous” and even more serious behavior in the locker room, without however providing the slightest proof of the facts that they allegedly reported to managers. And the UB87 are now calling for the goalkeeper to leave “as soon as possible”. “ Costil set fire to the powder. His remarks “you are sold” are unforgivable. These facts are the illustration of recurring attitudes of contempt for others which for so many months have been destroying the group”, explained, for his part, Florian Brunet, whose word, however, had more difficulty being heard following the revelations about his relationship with Gérard Lopez. ” Florian we have already had the discussion you no longer have any legitimacy for the vast majority of supporters », « Why defend Gérard Lopez so much? Certainly Costil did not have to make this gesture towards you but for years you have moved against certain coaches or the management and there one has the impression that Gérard Lopez has a certain protection. Seen from the outside it is quite strange », « Memory is short! Without costil it’s been 3 years that we would be in L2! A clash between players on the field is just normal! His gesture is also logical, you are sold by GL. A so-called independent group! Clearly I do not recognize myself in your actions and words “, are some of the answers made to the leader of the Ultras, who however received the support…. of Gérard Lopez. Via social networks, the owner of the club, which is heading towards Ligue 2, supported the supporters: “ Today’s match was ineligible. I spoke with our supporters at half-time. They were disgusted and I understand them. All employees and staff do their best every day for the team. But football always ends up being played on the field and it is then the responsibility of our players. I will express myself very quickly directly with our supporters ».
