The Stade Brestois 29 coach is satisfied with the way Les Ty' Zefs played against Paris Saint-Germain on Friday despite ending up on the losing side and has urged his players to stay positive
Brest’s hopes of ending the year on a positive note were crushed by a ruthless PSG side when Landry Chauvin’s side crushed to a 3-0 defeat at Stade Francis-Le Ble. The hosts were reduced to 10 men even before the half time whistle when Abdoulwhaid Sissoko
was shown a straight red for unsupportive behaviour.
However, Stade Brestois 29 coach, Landry Chauvin is remaining upbeat despite the defeat and is satisfied with the way his players performed on the pitch. While talking to reporters after the match, the 44-year-old stated that Sissoko’s sending off killed
the game and had it been 11 against 11 throughout the game, result probably would have been different.
Praising his players, the boss said that Brest played superbly on the pitch despite playing with a man less, and they caused the visitors all kinds of trouble on the pitch.
"Honestly, I would have liked to have seen it 11 against 11 right through to the end to see just how many problems we could have caused them.”
Chauvin added that playing against a side like Paris Saint-Germain is never easy but Les Ty' Zefs did well to give Carlo Ancelotti’s side a hard time.
“We knew that there was a big difference between the two sides at the start. Consequently, we set up to cause them as many problems as possible.”
Talking about his tactics the Frenchman said that he tried something different against Paris Saint-Germain and it was working pretty well until the red card, which changed the situation completely.
“We wanted to let them have the ball and play down the flanks, and it worked quite well until the red card.”
However, despite the defeat, Landry Chauvin is pleased with his players’ attitude and has urged them to continue playing like that in order to achieve club’s objectives this season.
“The players battled well, showed a lot of courage, but were up against a far superior armada."
