A little less than two weeks after his team's non-match in Montpellier, Éric Roy confided this Thursday that he was “not satisfied from an accounting point of view” with the start of his players' championship. Brest, after eleven days, is twelfth in Ligue 1 with three points ahead of the play-off, Saint-Étienne. “There, there is an urgency to take points because we want to advance in the championship,” he announces. It is obvious that I am not satisfied with our start to the championship, particularly from an accounting point of view. There were matches that were really too weak: Auxerre,
Montpellier, the first half against Nice. I put the first two matches (Marseille and Lens) aside because I consider that we did not have too many arguments at that time.
“Stop conceding goals”
Deprived of several players for the trip to Monaco this Friday, Éric Roy insists on the ability of his team to “be more solid and stop conceding goals. If we defend well collectively, we may be able to cause them problems in recovery. There is an awareness to be had, to return to the essential bases of solidity, of teamwork. We cannot give goals to the opponent as easily as we did for example in Montpellier.” After this trip to Monaco, Brest will host Strasbourg in the championship, then go to Lille and finish with the reception of Nantes. Between these matches will be two Champions League matches with a trip to Barcelona on Tuesday and the visit of PSV Eindhoven on December 10.
