The programming of day 9 of Ligue 1 had the gift of making some players in French football cringe. Lille coach Bruno Genesio, ahead, did not hide his annoyance when he saw that the derby against Lille was scheduled for this Saturday while his team won against Atlético de Madrid, in champions of the League, Wednesday. “It’s just terrible,” he told the former Stade Rennais coach.
“Always the actors who are punished”
The same story with Stade Brestois that, after the draw against Bayer Leverkusen two days agoback on the pitch this Saturday in Reims.
“What can we do about it?” I think we could have played the Classico on Saturday afternoon since the Parisians played earlier, the Brest coach believes. But whether it’s for TV programs or the calendar, we have no influence on it. And it is always the actors who are punished. »
Opinion shared by Pierre Lees-Melou. “It’s true that it’s happening, it’s going fast. I don’t understand why we don’t play on Sunday, anyway. But hey, it doesn’t matter. After that, we are not going to complain, because once we play in the European Cup, “says the Brest midfielder.
In order to be able to continue, the Brest staff have put in place a recovery protocol before and after every Champions League game. “A complete protocol applied with cryotherapy, with dietetics, special baths, cold, hot but also working from the end of the game to be able to recover as well as possible,” explained Éric Roy. Now, we have to be fresh for the upcoming game to see who can extend the excitement. » If there is still a lot of uncertainty about the team that will be lined up for this trip to Champagne, due to the many “physical glitches” and “small illnesses”, Éric Roy has spoiled himself for a choice in calling a larger group.
