Since the start of the season, players and supervisors have refused comparison. “Last season was last season,” insisted Brendan Chardonnet and others when mentioning an episode as sumptuous as it is unattended. However, the similarities seem to have little by little and, while Eric Roy recalled the day before that the previous exercise of the Brest stadium had notably been built on the fact of beat training of his level, his team finally had training from the bottom of the basis of its bases, in Le Havre.
“We remember Montpellier or Auxerre, these matches where we were not able to ensure the minimum,” analyzes the coach. We responded in terms of engagement, determination, by creating a lot of opportunities. Nine shots on top of it, almost regretting the Finistériens for not being sheltered after the opening of the Ajorque score.
Finally a matchless match conceded
Despite a fright in the second period with a pole found by Hassan (67 '), the Brestois stadium dominated the debates with the maturity of a big one. Signing a first goalless match collected since twelve games during a wheat victory against … Le Havre (2-0), which will have only been shot in 180 minutes against the Red and White, this season. “We knew how to hold this result, we defended,” says Mathias Pereira Lage. It may be a match that we would have lost a few months ago. »»
What to review upward ambitions and to consider a new European qualification at the end of the season? “When we speak with Greg Lorenzi, our main objective is Ligue 1,” reiterates Éric Roy. I never hid that we wanted to exist in this competition, that it is not because we play a or even two other competitions that we should not be efficient. “He nevertheless tempers:” The ambitions, at the start, is the maintenance, which we set at 35 points. When this maintenance is more or less assured, we will see if we can project ourselves on something else. »»
-“I want to look up,” says Éric Roy
Eighth at the end of this day – its best ranking this season -, the Brestois stadium signs the second best start in its history (28), both in terms of points and victories (9). Pride itself on such a championship assessment, in such a dantesque calendar, is not trivial. “I believe that we must be four points from Lille, which we tend to praise rightly,” Roy is satisfied. When you play against them, you just had a draw to be practically in the same areas. So I want to look up up there. »»
And since this ambitious costume is cut for him, the SB29 would accommodate a fourth success of row in Ligue 1, next Saturday. The chance of the calendar presents a very modest adversary in front of him, Paris Saint-Germain, to close a quietest week, marked by the reception of Real Madrid. Here is the new life of the Brestois stadium.
