On the 20th day of Ligue 1, Stade Brestois 2 faced Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Francis Le Blé. It was a match of great adversity, with the Bretons showing themselves to be dangerous on several occasions, but coming up against a great Donnarumma. But it was PSG who emerged victorious with a heavy 2-5 scoreline (video highlights Brest/PSG), just a few days before their Champions League double-header. SB29 defender Brendan Chardonnet spoke to beIN SPORTS after the match, giving his usual post-match reaction to the heavy defeat.
Chardonnet: “They were ultra-realistic and that pays off at the highest level”.
A tough match in terms of the scoreline, but there was more to come from Brest?
We looked so close, but the score at the end we’re so far away. It’s a bit harsh but it’s the reality on the pitch. It was an open game where we wanted to take risks, and the last two goals at the end hurt, but there were some interesting things. They were ultra-realistic and that pays off at the highest level.
Was there a lot of anger about the second goal?
Yes, I don’t have the images at the time. It’s what they tell me when it’s offside. It changes everything because if he’s not behind me I don’t have to play the ball. That changes everything. Now the referee has made his decision, but obviously he’s making a play. If he’s there, it’s because he’s playing his game. I don’t understand the rule.
