It’s too early to say that the Brestovar Stadium has turned from a dream to a nightmare. But Breton’s start to the season is unlikely to reassure their supporters. They finished a surprising third in Ligue 1 and qualified for the Champions League in the 2023-2024 season, but they appeared to be struggling at the time of confirmation. Eric Roy’s side suffered their second defeat in two games on Sunday, August 25, at the Stade de Lens (2-0).
Of course, this defeat is not as heavy as last week’s home game against Olympique Marseille (5-1). The fact is that Brestois seemed to be far from the target against Artesin, who only waited 19 minutes to score through a close-range cross from left-back Johanna Chavez. Soon after, Brest defender Julien Le Cardinal deflected Ruben Aguilar’s cross into his own net (45e).
“We didn’t respect the game plan we had decided on”Eric Roy lamented at the press conference, noting that ” The first half was very, very disappointing” His team. “From the moment it becomes difficult to win a duel, you have restricted matches and you are punished. » Lens, for its part, follows in the footsteps of Paris Saint-Germain, Lille and Monaco and has enjoyed a second successive success under new coach Will Steele, who arrived from Reims in the off-season.
Later in the day, Strasbourg and Nantes were unbeaten at the start of the tournament. The former beat Rennes (3-1) with goals from Andre Santos, Emmanuel Emerga and Christopher Wu (against his team), while the latter benefited from Moses Simon and Bach A goal from Reba Gilasi defeated Auxerre (2-1).
