Eric Roy says Brest may have hit ‘glass ceiling’ | OneFootball

Eric Roy said that Stade Brestois may have “hit [their] glass ceiling” in the wake of Saturday night’s 2-0 defeat against AS Monaco.

Going into the game, Brest, alongside Monaco, were the most in-form side in Ligue 1. On a six-game unbeaten run and with four wins in that time, Les Ty-Zéfs once again had the European places in sight. Last season, the club finished mid-table, but the season prior, Roy’s men improbably qualified for the UEFA Champions League.

But Saturday’s loss at the Stade Louis II provided a reality check. “I can’t say that the team played a bad match. That is what is a bit frustrating,” began the Brest manager in a press conference attended by Get French Football News. 

“It was a match to have a bit more ambition, for the players to show their ability to chase after something more important than just survival in Ligue 1, which is our objective. Maybe we’ve hit our glass ceiling and that we aren’t built to do more,” added Roy.
