Shocked by his supporters and then removed from the starting line-up by his coach David Guion, the goalkeeper and captain of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Benot Costil, went through a rough patch. But before his rival Gatan Poussin’s fever, the French international was finally able to find playing time before the end of the championship.
Benot Costil, the return of the “exiled” soon?
In a disastrous season for the Girondins de Bordeaux, last in Ligue 1 five days after the championship ended, goalkeeper Benot Costil stands as a symbol of a team in distress. Unable to sound the revolt with his people during the early months of the competition, the France international experienced a veritable descent to hell.
First criticized by his leaders for supporting defender Laurent Koscielny when he was ousted in January, the 34-year-old goalkeeper then lost support from supporters in March after an altercation with one of the Ultramarines’ leaders. Since then, the former Rennais has been popular with the public of Matmut Atlantique and to top it off he has been replaced in eleven.
Poussin gives no guarantee
Problem, when Bordeaux coach David Guion invoked a purely sporting argument to explain Costil’s relegation, who gave way to Gatan Poussin in the Aquitaine cage, the average performance of the usual second goalkeeper did not reassure de Bordelais and cost it even points to the club in the scapular.Powered holder in a very delicate context, Poussin does not bring the expected results and is even very feverish.
Indeed, the one who stops only 50% of the shots he makes in L1 has made several mistakes in recent matches, with a completely missed eviction that netted Olympique Lyonnais’ second goal (1-6) last Sunday and an implication for two other performance from Gones, than a parade too light on the equalizer of AS Saint-Etienne (2-2) on Wednesday.
Costil back in the elf?
Disappointing performance that logically prompts the Bordeaux leaders to make a reflection in full final sprint and could lead to the return of Costil in the eleven, from Sunday (3 pm) for a capital game against Nantes, according to information from the newspaper L’Equipe. Highly motivated despite being sidelined – on the bench – would only ask the Caennais of birth be able to play, defend the honor of the Girondists and help maintain themaccording to the testimony of his relatives.
In a context where Bordeaux no longer has the right to make mistakes and must make up for 4 points on the 18th, Saint-Etienne, in five games, Costil’s experience and leadership could at least offer more guarantees than the youth. de Poussin, talented but apparently too soft, at the moment, to support the dltre climate in the Gironde…
