This will remain as one of the strong images of the Girondins season. Sunday, Jaroslav Plasil could not hold back his tears after the club’s new defeat at Angers (1-4). A setback that practically condemns the Marine et Blanc to Ligue 2, two days before the end of the championship. It’s simple: if Saint-Etienne wins Wednesday in Nice, in a late match of the 36th day of Ligue 1, Bordeaux will be officially relegated.
Faced with this dramatic situation, the former midfielder and captain of the Girondins ended up cracking, alone on the bench, at the final whistle. Tears of sadness for the one who had retired from sport in 2019 before successively joining the staff of the reserve team and then the first team for two years.
“He is living a horrible season”
“He hasn’t been very well lately,” says a relative. He felt that there was no listening despite the catastrophic situation of the club. He’s been battling against the wind for weeks. He is having a horrible season, because he is completely isolated in this staff. During Petkovic’s time, no one was listening to him, and very little has changed since Guion’s arrival. “ Jaroslav Plasil was the only one to have kept his place in the staff after the takeover of the club by Gérard Lopez.
