Stade Brestois sank to Auxerre (3-0), delivering one of its worst matches in a long time. Whether in the game or the state of mind, we did not recognize this team. This is what saddens his coach, Éric Roy.
How do you explain what feels like a shipwreck?
There was no commitment, no intensity, no aggression. We were beaten in duels, beaten in the game quite simply. We can say whatever we want, football remains a balance of power, tonight we were unable to compete. It’s very disappointing because it’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen my team so apathetic, so weak in their content. It’s disappointing, but somewhere there are also a lot of lessons to be learned,

What type?
Lessons I will learn. When the matches are bad it makes you think. I don’t think I’ve seen a single player, apart from one or two, at his level. They all seemed to me to be in great difficulty.
Was there complacency, did they have the lead in Tuesday’s Champions League match?
I don’t know what to call it today. If they had the lead on Tuesday, there aren’t many who would play. You have to be good in every match if you want to hope to apply for the starting XI whatever the match. The most important match was tonight, this evening, not Tuesday’s, which will become the most important in an hour, because it’s the next one. What saddens me is that we have not given a good image of what we want to do on the ground. It’s almost too big to be true. I will wait for answers in the next matches.
Was there anything foreshadowing this?
On the contrary, we had a good week of training, there was a lot of energy, intensity and quality too. But football is always a bit special, we have a great week and at the end there is nothing. Sometimes we feel the team is in difficulty and they put out a great match. There is no truth, it is always that of one evening and this evening, we were far from the truth.
