de Tavernost:

«Bordeaux a une bonne équipe, avec ou sans Gourcuff. Je rappelle que cela n’a pas fonctionné en fin de saison dernière malgré la présence de Blanc, Gourcuff ou Chamakh. Je le confirme, les Girondins veulent disposer d’une équipe de niveau Ligue des champions.»

Bordeaux has a good team, with or without Gourcuff. I remember that things didn’t so well last season despite having Blanc, Gourcuff, Chamakh. Les Girondins want to build a team of Champions League level.

JLT:

«J’ai parlé ensuite avec Yoann et nous gardons de très bons contacts. Je ne lui souhaite que de bonnes choses et notamment de faire la grande carrière qu’il mérite. Nous nous quittons en très bons termes.»

I spoke to Yoann straight away and we still keep a good rapport. I wish him nothing buy good things and esp the great career that he deserves. We parted on very good terms.

1. de Tavernost speaks so much more sense than JLT does, when he does speak. and yay for ambition.

2. He sooo wouldnt’ve said such great things about Gourcuff if the transfer fee were lower. But good hustling! As for Aulas, hahah. You and your games, saying Lyon gave up the big-euro chase.

“ON VERRA.”

(“We’ll see.”)

Yeah ok whatever.

EDIT: fyi, When he was asked whether this is his last match with FCGB.

A few people wanted a translation from the Garden Party. Typing out the Sertić and Sané part with the video playing in the background, so apologies for the shoddiness in the rushed translation!

From 2:00:

Grég: Each player steps out to their number. The first Cédric Carrasso, the last Abdou Keita…don’t forget the number 25, who is Lamine Ludovic Sané. *I’ll let you come in a bit* There, get out. A great, great player; the FUTURE, they call him the new Desailly.

Lamine: I would like to say that the number 22, it’s not for nothing, because he has the style of play of Kaká. (his old number at AC Milan)

Grég: If you insist, if you insist. :) No, but it’s important, because you can see all of the partners (Bordeaux’s), all of Lamine’s fans (LOL) outside; we take pleasure in knowing them. When Lamine goes out, *Haillan goes crazy*.

Olivier: Do you have a special entrance or not?

Grég: Yep.

Doing this has made me realise that I need new earphones. I don’t know what Greg says off-camera anymore. Help?

But in a nutshell, these two are hilarious, and I worry for their egos.

On Gourcuff matters, he was cited recently - “Mon avenir, les gens parlent mais moi je n’ai jamais rien dit.” —- My future, everyone speaks about it, but I never have.

I didn’t see it, but apparently in a post-match interview today, he was questioned about his future and was all like “I don’t want to talk about these things, not interested in talking about stuff other than playing football.” blahblahblah, something along those lines. And walked away or something?

lol, may Gourcuff continue his press bitchiness.

“Thank U” wouldn’t be enough!!!

J’appréhendais la soirée, j’ai essayé de me retenir mais le naturel a pris le dessus. Il y avait tout le monde ce soir, mes proches, le public… que ce soit avec ultras ou les supporters, tout s’est toujours bien passé pour moi. Je suis très attaché à eux, ils resteront toujours dans mon cœur. C’est une soirée inoubliable. L’adieu du public m’a fait chaud au cœur.

Planus: Le départ de Chamakh marque la fin d’un cycle, il faudra que Bordeaux investisse de l’argent pour recruter.

Je veux tout donner pour mes derniers matches à Bordeaux. Je sais que je vais ressentir beaucoup, beaucoup d’émotion à Chaban-Delmas contre Sochaux car c’est un public que j’aime. Quoi qu’il en soit, les supporters resteront toujours dans mon cœur.

I want to give everything in my last matches for Bordeaux. I know I will feel a lot, a lot of emotion at C-D against Sochaux (last home match of the season), because here are the people I love. At all costs, the fans will always be in my heart.

J’essaie de rendre tout ce que les supporters me donnent: cette confiance, ces sourires, cet amour pour le Club. Ils sont toujours prêts à me soutenir et à m’encourager quoi qu’il arrive. C’est quelque chose de très fort.

I try to make do with what the fans give me: their confidence, their smiles, their love for the club. They are always ready to support me and cheer me on whatever happens. It is something very strong.

girondins.com: Un dernier mot pour les supporters ?
Grégory Sertic: Continuez de nous soutenir et de nous encourager. Nous allons tout faire pour stopper ces mauvais résultats et terminer la saison de la meilleure des façons possibles.
