A few hours away from the derby between the Ti-Zefs and the Merlus in the French Ligue 2 football championship, the captain Brest, serene, expects an open match.
Brest Lorient. The third, Stade Brest 29 (22 points) of the championship of France Ligue 2 football receives the fourth, FC Lorient (21 points). This is the poster of the 11e day, Saturday, October 20, at Francis-Le Blé stadium in Brest.
A meeting that will be sold out. The opportunity for the neo-captain and right-back of the Red and White, Gaëtan Belaud, who is playing his fifth season with the Ti-Zefs, to talk about the derby. Interview.
How did you experience the two derbies against FC Lorient last year?
In the first leg, we were beaten 4-2 and I scored the fourth goal against my side. When I got back to Brest, I got hurt from the 5the minute and I had to leave my teammates. So, against Lorient, I do not have that good memories … We had however won 3-0.
Games apart?
In Lorient, I remember a big and beautiful tifo. As soon as we warmed up, we could hear the Brest fans behind us. There was a big atmosphere. We felt that this match would not be like the others. For the return to Brest, during the week, the fans had told us that this derby was very important. We were well prepared to answer present.
How do you see Brest-Lorient on Saturday?
Honestly, and it's not to take away some pressure, I think Lorient are favorites. They have increased their numbers in the inter-season with the objective of going back to Ligue 1.
The stadium remains on six consecutive wins, you have arguments, right?
Yes, of course. We are doing a superb series. A seventh win in a row would be historic, it would remain in the annals of the club. But frankly, a draw against Lorient would already be a good result.
What will be the captain's speech before entering the lawn?
I will say that we will have to keep our cool and develop our football, as usual, collectively.
The keys of the match?
We have prepared the meeting and studied all that. Lorient is, like us, a team that plays a lot. It will be a fairly open match that will smile at the most effective training. And the public will play his role of twelfth man.
Do you seem to flourish in Brest?
For me, this is one of the best clubs in Ligue 2 in a city that lives for football. I am a fan of English football, I like the atmosphere in the stadiums there, that I find at Le Blé with the public close to the field.
