18-3. This is the cumulative score of confrontations between PSG and Brest since the start of the season and all this in only 4 small meetings. This Wednesday, Brest fell back from his cloud against Paris. During this Champions League dam, there was never a match and the training of Eric Roy collected a very heavy defeat this Wednesday evening. Beaten 7-0 this Wednesday, and 10-0 on the whole of the double confrontation, the teammates of Pierre Lees-Melou failed to exist and did not have the opportunity to believe a little bit of it . Before the draw, the old middle of Nice had already seemed disappointed, or almost, at the idea of facing Paris. “We hope Benfica, PSG, we know them, we play them enough in Ligue 1. Too bad. You mined my morale there. It would be a shame to fall against Paris anyway “he had launched.
And this Brest helplessness clearly felt on the field this evening with players below a match of this level in C1. The great Brest adventure ends here.“We didn't expect that. We hoped to make a result. They were much superior, we were not successful. With a big opportunity at the start of the match and a post. If, in this kind of match, you don't have the gods of football with you … Disappointment is the river score, it hurts. I want to remember this course, that's what will remain. We would never have imagined a few months ago to live this. We have represented France. I will keep the adventure with the boys, the club, the staff, the region ”explained Eric Roy at a press conference this Wednesday. A much more moderate observation than that of Pierre Lees-Melou just after the meeting.
The Brestois took advantage until the end!
“We knew it was a mission impossible, but we wanted to show character and get out through the big door. We were very disappointing, we were ashamed. 7-0 is too heavy. Paris is a big team. I am not resentful, I wish them to go to the end, but 7-0, it is a professional fault. Their qualification is deserved, but 10-0 on both matches, it is heavy to assume “ had balanced the French environment at the microphone of Canal+. If Pierre Lees-Melou did not mince his words, his teammates tried to keep a different discourse during the mixed zone. Holder at kick -off, Mathias Pereira Lage seemed above all to want to highlight the course of his family rather than the big evening defeat. “As the coach told us, we have to remember what we did. We put Brest on the European map. We did beautiful things about this campaign. You have to forget a little about the result of this evening. We were big on this campaign. We marked the story of Brest, that's what we said in the locker room. »»he launched before returning to the match itself.
“We tried to scare them. We had a situation. It was a complicated match. Individually, I grew up during this European campaign. And playing the Champions League is always good for a CV. We have a group of sick madness. We pull ourselves up. Tonight, we had nothing to lose. We were in the park against a large team, what do you want me to tell you. »» An opinion shared by his teammate Hugo Magnetti. “They are used to these confrontations. It was our first. The experience had to play. Afterwards, there is a lot of quality on their side. But we did not deserve it. These matches can be beneficial. Intensity, quality, we can learn. It's up to us to feed on that. We will remember a lot of positive emotions. Very few thought we were going to go so far. The coach made a positive speech. It was necessary to raise your head even by being disappointed with the result. You also have to turn to the championship and the French Cup quickly. ” The heavy evening defeat therefore closes a successful European campaign from the Brestois. And the gap between the two teams was so big that the players do not really seem to regret this elimination. Brest supporters, who sang from the first to the last minute despite the result, should probably think of the same thing. Back to reality now.
