After a spectacular draw between ASSE and Stade Brestois (3-3), coaches Eric Roy and Eirik Horneland shared their impressions with the DAZN microphone, revealing the frustrations and analyses that followed this meeting. Eric Roy, evidently annoyed by the course of the game, deplored the lack of rigour and aggressiveness of his team, pointing out that air domination, traditionally a strong point, has proved insufficient. He also expressed his incomprehension against an unfair yellow card, and acknowledged that the team had not been able to “close the game” or impose its pace, leaving precious opportunities to escape.

Regarding Ludovic Ajorque’s performance, Eric Roy tempered the criticism by insisting on the need for the player, despite his imposing stature, to take responsibility on the ground. He praised his offensive contribution, marked by two goals, but stressed that the ambition to seek victory requires constant commitment and unwavering intensity. The coach also deplored the absence of Ludo, injured, in the last minutes, and acknowledged that the team may not yet have the means to claim higher ambitions, suggesting a need for progress and improvement in the next games.

For its part, Eirik Horneland highlighted the difficulties inherent in the struggle for maintenance, stressing the psychological impact of the goals quickly collected and the need to demonstrate resilience in the face of the vagaries of the game. He praised the team’s improved performance in the second period, which allowed to equalize to 3-3, and emphasized the importance of personality and character to wear the ASSE jersey, facing a demanding audience. The coach called for greater continuity and the construction of a clear identity, while recognizing the moments of disconnection and the need to fight for a more coherent and efficient game project.
