How long will Albert Riera remain the coach of Bordeaux? The Spaniard, who made waves in Slovenia, has hit a dead end in Ligue 2, and on top of that, he seemingly caused an incident in the last match that is making big waves. Bordeaux has already denied everything, stating that the delegate’s report mentioned nothing, but French media still write: Albert Riera hit a player from the opposing team!
Bordeaux visited Saint-Etienne and lost 1-2 against the former club of Robert Beric. This was Bordeaux’s third loss in the last five matches. After the game, things allegedly got heated in the stadium facilities, where the home player Yvann Macon reportedly provoked Riera, who responded by slapping him! “What happens on the field stays on the field. What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas,” Albert Riera served an intriguing comment after the match. The first part of the statement was in French, the second in English, and Bordeaux promptly denied all allegations on their social media.
However, this statement wasn’t the only one making waves. The iconic L’Equipe highlighted that the Spaniard “once again remained faithful to his bias, stating that Bordeaux should have been leading 4-0 at halftime“. In doing so, L’Equipe adds, he forgot about all the chances Saint-Etienne had. “I’m not here to talk about Saint-Etienne. In my opinion, we were much better. Albert said we lost, but we were much better than them. You can write that in capital letters,” Albert Riera remained true to his style, even though he changed countries, nature doesn’t change.
One more thing: Slovenian international Žan Vipotnik started the match in the starting eleven in front of 35,317 spectators, playing the full game. He didn’t score, so he remains at eight goals in his first season abroad.
