Still as impressive for its first participation in the Champions League, Stade Brestois scored a third success in four matches at Sparta Prague. The Bretons want to change mentalities.
Stade Brestois supporters have been over the moon since last season. The SB29 qualified brilliantly for the Champions League groups last year, and after four days in the new C1 format, Eric Roy's group defies all predictions, placing fourth with three victories and a draw in four days. This Wednesday, the Finistère club won on the field of Sparta Prague (1-2) and now has ten points out of twelve possible after beating Sturm Graz, Salzburg and winning the draw against Bayer Leverkusen, German champion in title. Exceptional performances which boost Brest's confidence, as Kenny Lala explained.
Brest can dream before facing Barça and Real
The right-back hopes that this start of Brest's epic will give ideas to any French team, regardless of their European experience: “It’s a question of mentality after all. We must already improve it among ourselves, always wanting the maximum for our French clubs. People weren't counting on us and then here we are. We respond. So I hope in the future that it will give ideas and then change mentalities. Even if you start from scratch, you must always have respect for others and always wish for the best. It’s like that, we accept it but in the end it stings us too. It puts us in it and it motivates us to show the opposite”he explained according to comments collected by RMC Sport. Already almost assured of competing in the play-offs, Brest can approach its last four matches calmly. In addition to matches against PSV Eindhoven and Shakhtar Donetsk, Brest will appear on the pitch of FC Barcelona the next day and will also host Real Madrid for a gala meeting which will be the apotheosis of Brest's metamorphosis since the arrival of its magician Eric Roy in January 2023.
