At a press conference, Jean-Louis Gasset was asked about his opponent of the day, Stade Brestois, which does a lot of good for football that is sometimes too predictable:
“We are jealous of Stade Brestois because they are living a waking dream. We don't realize what they are doing. Already last year in the league and now, in the Champions League. Mastering the matches as they do, managing the away match as they managed it this week with serenity, humility and a lot of courage… I'm jealous of Eric Roy because he put something together. He arrived not so long ago, the club was poorly ranked and in a year and a half he took them to the top five teams in the Champions League. It is still worth noting. We don't emphasize French coaches enough. Bruno Genesio, with Lille, he beats Real, he will win at Atletico Madrid… If it had been other coaches, we would have made tons of it. Eric Roy, with his simplicity, is doing something magical.«
Brest has always won after a Champions League match even though it is always difficult to follow up. Coach Pailladin gave his opinion: “ Brest has a double squad. They have two teams. In Reims, their last match in the league, they rotated the whole team and they won there against a team that was not easy to maneuver. We conclude that the group is living well but we perceive that. There is a good atmosphere, there is a mentality of work and courage which must be highlighted. »
