"Ça m’attriste", Eric Roy répond à ceux qui ne veulent pas voir Brest en Ligue des champions

Le Stade brestois, 3e de Ligue 1, est officiellement assuré de disputer une coupe d’Europe la saison prochaine. Reste à savoir laquelle entre la Ligue des champions et la Ligue Europa. Quoi qu’il arrive, cette saison sera historique pour le club breton qui n’a jamais connu mieux qu’une 8e place en D1, obtenue en 1987.

L’entraîneur de Brest Eric Roy

“Les autres ne sont pas au rendez-vous mais ce n’est pas mon problème”

Invité de l’Intégrale Sport, ce dimanche, sur RMC, au lendemain du match nul concédé contre le FC Nantes (0-0), Eric Roy est revenu sur les critiques quant à une éventuelle participation du Stade brestois à la Ligue des champions la saison prochaine : “Ça m’attriste. Si on est là c’est que je pense qu’on le mérite. Les gens disent que c’est un championnat faible et que les autres ne sont pas au rendez-vous mais ce n’est pas mon problème. C’est décevant et un peu triste.”

Attendus dans les premières places du classement en début de saison, Lyon, Marseille et Rennes ont globalement raté leur saison et ont tous dû changer d’entraîneur au cours de cet exercice. Ils espèrent désormais accrocher l’Europe.

Si Brest parvient à se qualifier pour la Ligue des champions, le club entraîné par Eric Roy ne sera pas le seul “invité surprise” en C1 la saison prochaine. En effet, Gérone a validé son billet pour la Ligue des champions ce samedi via un succès contre le FC Barcelone. Club membre du City Groupe, les Gironistes évoluent en Liga depuis 2022 après un premier bref passage de 2017 à 2019.

Dans une moindre mesure, le Bologne FC, entraîné par Thiago Motta, est lui aussi tout proche de retrouver la Ligue des champions, 59 ans après l’unique participation du club italien.

Le calendrier à venir est favorable au Stade brestois pour espèrer arracher une qualification directe en Ligue des champions. Les Bretons vont défier le Stade de Reims (vendredi 10 mai) pour le dernier match de la saison à Francis-Le-Blé avant de se déplacer à Toulouse pour terminer une saison qui est déjà historique.
