20:25 – A match with a special flavor
Eric Roy, who has already played in a UEFA Cup final with Marseille as a player (in 1999 against Parma, 0-3 defeat), said that this first C1 match will be unique.It will be a match with a particular taste, especially for the players…. There will be a lot of emotions, we will have to know how to manage them. They have more experience than us, they are used to this exercise, but they were in pot 4 like us, and it is therefore, perhaps, more accessible”
20:20 – Burning on the bench
Apart from the absence of playmaker Zvonarek, coach Christian Ilzer has opted for a classic eleven: Scherpen – Stankovic (c), Wüthrich, Kiteishvili, Horvath – Jatta, Gazibegovic, Lavalée, Aiwu – Boving, Biereth
20:15 – A locker room with a European feel
The match between Brest and Sturm will take place at the Roudourou stadium (in Guingamp). The Bretons’ usual stadium, Francis Le Blé, could not be brought into compliance with UEFA’s security requirements. Below are some images of the Brest locker rooms.
20:05 – Many surprises in the Brest eleven
Eric Roy’s starting line-up includes several surprises, such as the inclusion of Romain Faivre, who is returning from injury, in place of Romain Del Castillo on the right flank of the attack, while in defense Jordan Amavi, who is more experienced in European Cups, will be on the left side in place of Haïdara.
The Brest eleven is as follows: Bizot – Amavi, Coulibaly, Chardonnet, Lala – Magnetti, E.Fernandes, Camara – Sima, Ajorque, Faivre
