Ricardo "The most important match is against Paris"

Despite Thursday's Europa League match against Slavia Prague, Girondins de Bordeaux coach Ricardo explained in a press conference that he considers this weekend's match against Paris Saint-Germain (day 15) of Ligue 1), more important.

"Given our ranking in Ligue 1 (12th, ed)), the most important match is against Paris. Against Slavia Prague, we will be running because of injuries and timing but we will have no excuse. If we have to leave the C 3, it will be with a win. "

It usually appears that for the coaches of Ligue 1, the Europa League is not very important. It's a shame, because for several clubs it's an opportunity to live a rather interesting European adventure. Not to mention the possible contributions on visibility, prestige and finances. Now, Bordeaux being already last in his group with 6 points less than the 2nd (Prague), there is enough to start thinking about something else. Including being 12th and before receiving the PSG. It's probably too late to really think about Europe, except to qualify for it next year. It would be good in this case to make a better course.

As for Paris, it will be necessary to be able to reconcentrate on the championship after the essential victory against Liverpool in the Champions League (2-1, 5th day of the group phase) to follow with a 15th success in Ligue 1 in as many games. We expect Parisians to continue with seriousness and good spirit.
