By choosing Germain Gigounon as coach in November 2020, David Goffin knew that criticism would rain if the results did not follow. For what ? Because Binchois is a bad coach? No ! Because the latter is a friend of the Liégeois? Yes ! Analyzed from the outside, this collaboration gave the impression that the Belgian number one had chosen his personal comfort over sporting ambitions by entrusting his destiny to his friend, the one with whom he could have a good time after the work sessions. completed. A choice which perhaps fell two or three years too early in the career of the Liégeois. However, with Germain, David worked, worked, was shaken. But this reality was eclipsed by a sporting decline on the part of the former 2017 Masters finalist that had already begun well before the new collaboration was sealed. So, the man who is now the former coach of Liégeois was an easy target. Would another mentor have done better with the material available to them? Not sure ! Proof of this is the arrival in the staff for almost a year of Yannis Demeroutis, without a radical change occurring in David’s performances and results. Another bad choice? That would start to do a lot. What is certain is that the separation, by mutual agreement according to the press release, will have two consequences. It will preserve the friendship between the two friends, which is certainly the most important, but also put more pressure on David Goffin’s shoulders. Either this break acts like an electric shock for the Liégeois, or, if the results do not improve, it will prove that Germain Gigounon was not the obvious culprit…
