The Pirates of Stade Brestois were forced to be satisfied with a draw after a difficult opposition with FC Nantes (0-0). However, hope continues within the Breton crew, who are firmly awaiting the result of LOSC.
It was impossible to imagine it at the start of the season and yet, a few days before the end of the season (2023-24), Stade Brestois is still in the race for a place on the podium meaning direct qualification for the Champions League. Engaged in a distant duel with AS Monaco, but also and above all LOSC, the Pirates lost feathers during the reception of FC Nantes (0-0) by collecting only one small point. Two units lost in the race for the podium, the opportunity is great for LOSC which could be ahead of the Bretons in the event of success this Monday, May 6 against Olympique Lyonnais.
At the final whistle of this Breton opposition, Eric Roy was not alarmist, being satisfied with this point gained given the appearance of the match: “It’s obvious that we came here to win this match, that was the ambition. The history of the match meant that with the injuries (Pierre Lees-Melou and Romain Del Castillo), we did not have the weapons. We lacked inspiration in our offensives and what’s more, we were facing a team who wanted to attack us. […] We missed a lot of things to take the three points, but when you can’t win, it’s just as good not to lose. It’s a good point about the physiognomy”launched the technician for Free Ligue 1 Uber Eats, then continuing his analysis on the antennas of Canal+broadcaster of the part mentioned: “We were on a tightrope and it’s true that overall, it’s a good point. We had obviously gathered at the stadium to take the three, but we weren’t able to do it. We were inside physically. We lacked momentum. Our goal is to finish as high as possible and today we are third. We know that there is the possibility of Lille overtaking us on Monday, but they still have to win and all the matches are difficult for everyone.concluded the Breton, launching a challenge to the Mastiffs.
A few moments earlier, it was Mathias Pereira Lage (27 years old) who had indulged in this analysis game. He also does not intend to stop there and hopes to be able to collect six points in the coming weeks in order to make life difficult for LOSC, a direct competitor: “They (FC Nantes, editor’s note) defended well? Yes, they came to take at least a point. We aimed to go a little more wide, we did it a little less and we brought in fewer crosses. We saw that we forced too much in the axis. There are two games left to play, we are not going to give up now. We will try to take 6 points”, commented the former Clermontois. The task promises to be difficult, but the Mastiffs will have to win this Monday against Olympique Lyonnais to hope to climb onto the podium.
