Brest coach Éric Roy reacted to the slap received this Sunday in Montpellier (3-1).
Four days after its victory in Prague (2-1), in the Champions League, Brest, without “going” in “enthusiasm” according to his coach Éric Roy, lost a little of his European magic and his state of mind to lose (3-1) Sunday in Montpellier, bottom of Ligue 1. “I’m disappointed. we didn't play the match we should have. We conceded goals too easily. We made Montpellier’s task easier. We did the work for them. He was given the opportunity to take the score. We are disappointed because we failed to meet expectations and the match we wanted to play. However, our victory in Prague was the ideal preparation. But we didn’t have the drive, the enthusiasm”regretted Éric Roy.
Perfectly launched in the Champions League after four days, Brest is in a more uncomfortable position in the championship. “There is a great urgency, a very great emergency. We’re going to have to get back into working order in the championship.”was alarmed by the Breton technician, eager to take advantage of the international break to breathe and treat some ailments.
“We cannot afford to score four goals to win matches”
“It will do us good to cut a few days off. We need to regain our strength, to recharge our batteries, but also to find the right state of mind”whispered Roy, before targeting his expectations for the coming days. “Some players were not up to standard in this match. We conceded too many goals. We can't afford to score four goals to win matches.”he noticed.
Brest will have to find a second wind before approaching an end of the year as exciting as it is complicated in the Champions League as in the championship, with meetings in Monaco or Barcelona, in particular.
