This is one of the nice surprises of this first half of the 2023-2024 financial year. In the event of success against Lorient this Wednesday as part of the 17th day of Ligue 1, the Finistère team would complete the first leg in the top 5. A great reward for the Ty-Zefs who play an attractive game but also for their coach Eric Roy. Called to play the firefighters on duty in January 2023, the 56-year-old technician had the difficult task of maintaining a team which has long flirted dangerously with the red zone. It must be said that less than a year later, the man whose arrival in Finistère had not excited anyone, has succeeded more than ever to the extent that the SB29 is now aiming for the heights of the ranking.
During an interview given to The Team, the main interested party reviewed several subjects which marked the first half of the season at Stade Brestois. And among them, the former Nice coach mentioned the behavior of Kylian Mbappé on October 29 which sparked strong reactions. As a reminder, at the end of his converted penalty against Brest allowing PSG to win with a score of 3-2 at the end of regulation time, the Parisian star had upset the Breton public when celebrating his goal. “Regarding Kylian Mbappé, I would never have spoken about him if I had not been asked what I thought of his attitude, which I found ridiculous. As a player and a coach, I have often been insulted, but I have never addressed the public. Football is a reflection of society and there will always be idiots in a stadium.he declared to the sports daily.
