Remember last summer… after a long administrative and above all distressing process for the supporters, the Girondins were officially maintained in Ligue 2. No time to rejoice that the season was already starting, with there too its share of uncertainties. Unable to register new recruits like Yoann Barbet, Vital Nsimba or Jonas Lössl, who ended up leaving, David Guion had to rely on a few survivors of Ligue 1 but especially young people to start against Valenciennes. Junior Mwanga, Malcom Bokélé but also Logan Delaurier-Chaubet were thus thrown into the deep end. And for the latter, the learning was express.

106 minutes played since the return from the World Cup

Holder at the start of the season, LDC was one of the craftsmen of the good launch of the Girondins, who quickly settled in the top of the classification of this Ligue 2.

For Mickael Gomis, his individual physical trainer interviewed by WebGirondins, Delaurier-Chaubet quickly understood that the professional level involved working hard. “Logan realized that at the athletic level he had to work more, he put certain things in place. He worked on his weak points, especially the duels, he wanted to develop. We insisted on power, how to play with your arms in one against one and the repetition of efforts.” If the beginnings were idyllic, very quickly Delaurier-Chaubet saw his playing time melt like snow in the sun.

After playing 694 minutes between Ligue 2 and the Coupe de France before the 2022 World Cup, the Bordelais only played 106 minutes since late December. In his offensive rotation, Zuriko Davitashvili, Dilane Bakwa and Alexi Pitu are ahead of him. Fourth choice, Logan Delaurier-Chaubet is chomping at the bit: he alternates between the bench with the professionals, and the reserve where he often holds. “He was voted nugget of the month in Ligue 2 in August.adds Mickael Gomis, and he is the only young Girondins in this case. “Every week when I see him, he wants to be in the group and to play. Logan is simply biding his time. He always keeps his desire and to put himself at the service of the collective. He has not had a drop diet: he works and is patient.”

Consequence: the player logically wonders about his future and thinks about the rest (Editor’s note He is under contract until 2026). At 21 and after this first season as a professional, he wants to see his playing time grow and have guarantees on his status. According to our information, Logan Delaurier-Chaubet’s priority remains the Girondins, pending of course the outcome of the season. Ligue 2 clubs and training abroad have come to the information to test the waters.

Contacted, his entourage believes that this season was founding for him, while believing that he was at a crossroads for the future. “Last summer we already had several proposals from L2 clubs, we finally decided to stay. Bordeaux in general is very happy with him, we are also satisfied but we are all aware that he must play more, it is Logan’s first wish”. confides one of his relatives. “Ideally, if he stays in Ligue 2, we would like him to play around thirty games as a starter.”, we also breathe.
