In the championship, Stade Brestois has been behind five times and has always lost. This inability to reverse the course of the matches is, after eleven days, sorely lacking for the team coached by Éric Roy to hope for better. Since the start of the season, when the Brestois take the game on their own, they have been a difficult team to contain, to apprehend and even dominated. But when the elements become contrary, they fail to force the decision by reacting too timidly.
“We didn’t have the technical quality”
Without this necessary bit of madness, Brest can become a more ordinary team again.
And if against Nice last week, there was something positive to be remembered after Brest's total domination in the second half after a missed first 45 minutes, this time, Brest showed too timid a face to leave Hérault, with at least, the point of draw.
“We still had a lot of balls, we dominated a lot, they were very grouped together, so obviously it was harder,” Éric Roy insisted. We didn't have the technical quality, not the right feeling and a lack of success. It's always the same, when we don't start the matches well, then things don't look good. »
Totally overwhelmed for a good half hour, Brest certainly had a few opportunities, like Abdallah Sima's chances (70', 90'+ 3), but fell just short against a decisive Benjamin Lecomte. “We will have to work on the finishing and the last gesture because it was too poor to compete,” summarized Pierre Lees-Melou. And it's not Jonas Martin's lucky goal (50') that changes the situation.
