Paris Saint-Germain faced Brest this Sunday at the Stade Francis Le-Blé in Matchday 4 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season. The match ended in a 0-1 victory for Paris. After the game, Brest coach Julien Lachuer spoke at the press conference.
Lachuer: “I have two feelings tonight.”
Did Brest deserve to take a point or more tonight?
Yes, clearly. We had chances to score. We also had the ball and the opportunity to do better around the time the Parisians scored. I have two feelings tonight. There is the feeling of the coach—proud of his players and of what we showed. I said before the match that our ambition was to demonstrate the good work we’ve been doing since the start of the season.
The second feeling—as a competitor (and Eric [Roy] was a great competitor)—is one of frustration and disappointment. I think there was an opportunity to at least equalize. We have to keep working, analyze what we didn’t do well, hold onto what we did right, and try to score one more than the opponent.
Lachuer: “If PSG played a bad match, I hope we played a big part in that.”
Luis Enrique spoke of his team’s “worst match”; how did Brest trouble Paris?
If PSG played a bad match, I hope we played a big part in that. We really believe in our principles and our connections. We rely on the strength of habit; we keep pushing that. I am satisfied with the mindset shown, the desire to move forward, and the drive to show exactly what Brest is all about. We had a chance—against a PSG side not at their best—to at least pick up some points. We’ll try to do that against Auxerre.
Lachuer: “The tribute was beautiful, but we can never fully repay everything he gave to the club and the players.”
Was the evening defined by the tribute to Eric Roy?
He deserves it—though I’m not sure any tribute could truly match the man himself, given how much he contributed as both a coach and a person. He lifted everyone up here. He was a fantastic guy. He left us far too soon. But he bequeathed us his courage and his competitive spirit. Wherever he is now, he must be frustrated; we could have done better.
Holding Paris to a draw would have been the best tribute, but at least we gave it our all. He truly gave everything. The way he carried himself—he always had a kind word. He wanted the best for everyone. He left too soon. The tribute was beautiful, but we can never fully repay everything he gave to the club and the players.
