On Forever and in the program free kicks, the journalist Julien Bée Speed on the 3-5-2 set up by the coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Bruno Irles, facing La Roche Vendée Foot.
“He surprised his world a little, even if it worked in the week in this direction. He decided to put three central defenders […] Whether Bruno Irles pursue him, or not … In any case, what I find a shame is that Bruno Irles did not do it before, did not test it before, but also other systems to blur the cards in the face of opponents. Because we have seen that each opponent who played against the Girondins de Bordeaux, especially in this second part of the season, had understood a little about what Bruno Irles wanted: we try to play a little on the sides but above all, if it starts to become complicated, and if the lawn deteriorates, we send a long ball on Andy Carroll or Etienne Beugre. We did not know how to adapt. I think he could have come from time to time putting this system in place to blur the tracks of opponents and opposing coaches a little … During the series of five defeats, I think that Bruno Irles should have changed something in his team, which he did not do. We have often talked about bringing national 3 players who could have done good, like Issam Ben Khemis, but it could also have been a change in system that would have brought new to this team. It is therefore a shame that he did not try it before, this 3-5-2 ”.
