Press review: Brest v PSG, tribute to Éric Roy and points needed | OneFootball

This Sunday, September 13, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on tonight’s match against Brest at 8:45 p.m. at Stade Francis-Le Blé (broadcast on Ligue1+). A match marked by the tribute to Eric Roy, former Brest coach who passed away this summer following cancer. PSG will also need to make sure they take all 3 points, with a first league win. Apparently, without much competition in defense.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Roy will hold a very special place tonight, and it is well deserved. He was a great figure in French football, always respectful. The former coach also left his mark on Brest’s history, and the club wants to pay tribute worthy of him.

Of course, the focus will also have to be on the match. PSG must be wary of a special energy on the opponent’s side. Any result other than a win would be a problem for the Parisians, who are now 8 points behind first place. It is not yet urgent, but another slip-up would start to become troublesome.

As for competition, the sports paper’s angle is a little unusual. It is not that competition does not exist, but rather that the “starters” still have the edge. The goals conceded do not tell the whole story. First, because they do not only happen when the usual starters are on the pitch. Also, the defense is not solely responsible. There is the rest of the team, as well as the opponent.
