“I think it must be a match that is playable for us. If we don’t have the ambition to win against Sturm Graz, I don’t know what match we will have the ambition to win in this competition.” Eric Roy did not mince his words when approaching Stade Brestois’ first match in European Cupagainst Sturm Graz, this Thursday (kick-off at 9 p.m.).
This match will be an event for a club that has not yet experienced the particular smell of the most prestigious of competitions, but there is no question of Brest presenting itself as a victim. Facing the Austrians, Brest intends to strike hard from the start. The Breton club was able to prepare for this match in the best possible way with a high-level match at the Parc des Princes against PSG, last Saturday (1-3). The scene is set.
The expected compositions
Brest: Bizot – Lala, Chardonnet, Le Cardinal, Haidara – Mah. Camara, E. Fernandes, Magnetti – Del Castillo, Ajorque, Sima.
Sturm Graz : Scherpen; Gazibegovic, Aiwu, Wuthrich, Lavalee; Horvat, Stankovic, Kiteishvili; Zvonarek; Boving, Biereth.
