The coach of Stade Brestois, Éric Roy, spoke at a press conference on Friday before the trip of his team on the Lawn of Olympique de Marseille, scheduled for Sunday as part of the 32nd day of Ligue 1. For the Brestois, it will be a special duel after their heavy defeat to go, but they intend to show another face at the Vélodrome stadium. On August 17, on the first day of the championship, the Marseillais had won a large (5-1) win at the Francis Le Blé stadium. This meeting was marked by the performance of Mason Greenwood, decisive on all five goals of OM. This defeat is still in the minds of Brest.

As the return match approaches, Eric Roy recognizes the opponent’s difficulty but is determined: “OM is a strong and quality team in a fantastic stadium. It’s going to be a beautiful game to play, a great challenge for us facing a very offensive team, which scores many goals. It’ll be a different game than going. »

Although the end of the season does not really present any stakes for Brest, currently installed at the top of the table without any hope of a podium or risk of relegation, the coach does not want his players to decline in intensity: “It is important to keep the league fair to the end and always give a good image of the club. The players are going to make their game in a way concerned, let go is not part of my options. […] We want to remain a tough opponent until the last day. »

The message is clear: Brest will not come as a spectator in Marseille. Eric Roy’s men intend to play their part to the end of this championship, and offer a strong opposition to an OM team led by Roberto De Zerbi still looking for points.
