“We have to turn our backs”, declared Brest coach Romain Le Cosse who still had to deal with a very reduced squad this Saturday. Brest started with an experimental major five. The technician had to do without his leader Pereira Fortes, injured in the warm-up.
Aggressive and patient in attack, the locals managed to take the lead in a match focused on the offensive (24-22, 10′). Manhandled on the defensive rebound, the Brest defense moved into the zone, very judicious because it put the team back on track. Very united and strong despite the physical superiority of the Rezéens in the racket, the Finistériens held the right end thanks to Perdriau imperial in the first period (19 points).
“It’s a benchmark match”
After the break, Cosse took over in attack and missed nothing, well imitated by the floats of Caro (injured in the foot and clearly diminished). In control (69-62, 30′), the BMB was not worried by the clumsy Ligeriens. Each piece of the Brest puzzle was in tune, with altruism and game intelligence. “It’s a benchmark match with the team I have at the moment. We respected the jersey”rejoiced the Brest coach.
