For the derby of the 23rd day of Ligue 1 on Sunday, Stade Brestois will have to deal with two absentees to go to Rennes. In addition to Lucien Agoumé, suspended for an accumulation of three yellow cards in the space of ten games, Paul Lasne will also be lacking in the heart of the midfield. “He has pain behind his thigh“says coach Michel Der Zakarian.
Del Castillo ok, Belaïli not qualified yet
The Ty Zefs technician can, on the other hand, count on Romain Del Castillo. Back injury, the Brest offensive postulates to face his former club. The recruit Youcef Belaili, whose arrival rocked the week in Brest, is also operational. “But he’s not qualified yet” administratively precise MDZ, making for the time being its participation in the meeting uncertain.
I would have liked a little more turnover again
Asked about the results of the Brest transfer window (arrivals of Satriano and Belaïli, departures of Faivre and Badji), Michel Der Zakarian would have “liked a little more turnover again, but hey. We will do with what we have“.
The departure of Faivre was not inevitable according to him
Relaunched on the departure of Romain Faivre and the arrival of Youcef Belaïli in the last days of the transfer window, MDZ believes that the departure of the first was not inevitable. “He was not expected to leave during the season. _It’s the president’s will._, he wanted to recover the transfer. It’s his choice, he’s the boss“.
We will play in 3-5-2
Asked about the tactical reorganization that these movements can lead to, the Brest coach answers very seriously. “We will play 3 behind, 5 in the middle and 2 in front“, which would mean the shelving of 4-4-2 having completely relaunched the Ty Zefs season, while the announced scheme had been inconclusive last summer in preparation. But the Ty Zefs technician refused to give further details. “You will see at the game“Sunday,” he concludes.
