This is a statistic that is enough to give Girondins de Bordeaux supporters cold sweats. The training coached by Vladimir Petkovic, who is more than ever on the start, is indeed currently the worst defense of the five major European championships. After the slap suffered on the ground of Reims (0-5) this Sunday, on behalf of the 23rd day of Ligue 1, the club at the Scapular now has 58 goals conceded on the clock. This equates to an average of 2.5 pawns taken per game.
The residents of Matmut Atlantique are simply doing worse than Norwich in England (45 goals in 22 games), Greuther Fürth in Germany (56 goals in 21 games), Levante in Spain (46 goals in 22 games) and Franck Ribéry’s Salernitana in Italy and its 53 pawns conceded in 22 days. In addition to probably costing the place of Vladimir Petkovic on the Bordeaux bench, this terrible stat places the FCGB in 19th and penultimate place in Ligue 1.
