Oh how good this victory against RC Strasbourg is for Stade Brestois. On a series of three defeats in a row in Ligue 1 before facing RCSA, Brest had to take three points against a “sick beast”. Something done for Eric Roy's men, who were reassured.
If everything was not perfect against the Alsatian club, this beautiful 3-1 victory thanks to goals from Kenny Lala, Mathias Pereira Lage and Romain Del Castillo, will allow Eric Roy to prepare more calmly for the perilous trip to Lille, next Friday .
A match with a Champions League flavor for Stade Brestois, which will have a lot to face against a team which has not lost in 12 matches. A meeting all the more complicated, as Eric Roy could have to deal with a new package in midfield.
Already deprived for several weeks of Pierre Lees-Melou and Jonas Martin, the SB29 coach could have to do without Edimilson Fernandes. Exited with an injury in the 50th minute, the 28-year-old Swiss midfielder suffered from an ankle injury.
“We found out at half-time. He wanted to continue. Perhaps we should have tested him. That would have allowed us not to make a change that counted. You know we are only allowed three moves replacement. And if we do it at half-time, it doesn't count. He gave us certainty that he could continue, it wasn't great. confided Eric Roy in comments relayed by Ouest France, before continuing.
“I hope it's not too serious. It's true that there, in the area of play, and particularly in the middle, defensively, we're going to start to be in difficulty a little bit. I hope that it will be able to resume quickly. But for the moment, we don't know any more.”
No need to tell you that at Stade Brestois we are feverishly awaiting the diagnosis. Because as things currently stand, Eric Roy only has Mahdi Camara and Hugo Magnetti as players capable of doing real defensive work in the midfield.
