Vitaly Pasichny talks about Donetsk Shakhtar's rival.
Today Shakhtar plays with a remarkable team. The team, because by the very fact of its foundation, the simple principles that were considered basic for football. The principle that the European Cup is important evidence; the principle that consistent practice is important for a coach; the principle that the requested superstars can lead to the shortest period in history - and many others. Brest is an absolute debutant in the European Cups, and I guess that the people themselves, the coach, the president of the club in the depths of their souls do not understand that they are in love with them at the same time..
Place of base: naval citadel Remember, in “The Three Musketeers” the main characters were sent to La Rochelle? The novel speaks about the war with the Huguenots, French Protestants - and in which particular episode the Huguenots were greatly helped by the English. A flotilla of 80 ships was given to the Huguenots by none other than the Duke of Buckingham, whose occupation with the French rights became the drive for the ties with Anna of Austria and faceless fantasies about their connections, one of which became important.
In essence, the evil and late Cardinal Richelieu was a truly wise and respectable politician, and the noble idol of the Musketeers Louis XIII was a mediocre infantile (if you want to know the deeds of their affairs, you can absolutely respect. And besides, having finally taken La Rochelle, the cardinal began to boost the importance of French rule at sea. The very first order of duty at the daytime entry of France was the creation of a shipyard and arsenal for military ships, and the small town of Brest became the region’s key naval base for all future ships..
Whose status is the protection of the seas and oceans for France - Brest is, in principle, still. It was ruined by the British, hastened by the great French revolution, and the Wehrmacht hurled itself onto the beginning of the Other World in order to create a grandiose scale bunker for underwater wars - and untouched. If we’re talking about the other half of the 20th century, then we know better for our wealth that Europe was not prepared for wars. And, as a legacy, Brest is a depressed French town, in which, since the seventies, the population has been declining and unemployment is increasing.
It’s clear that he competes in football. Brest is a small town in front of us, the population of which, at the earliest possible hour, was not over 200 thousand people. For a long time there were a bunch of amateur teams. The first professional club in Brest appeared in 1950 (before the speech, let the great beautiful “29” on the emblem not mislead you: this is the number for the department), but until the end of the seventies there were no news about any high achievements:.
In the 1979/80 season, the “pirates” made their debut in Liza 1 and defeated Marseille 7:2, but all the same it was no more than a story of a cheerful team from the periphery. The stench has risen even stronger, having accumulated a whole collection of devastating lesions.. The regional derby Brest plays against Rennes, but for a long time there was no normal super-nationship between the clubs: there were so many unequal forces. Raymond Keruzor, who is shockingly called one of the most prominent graves in the history of Brittany, was the star of Rennes, and then made his debut in the elite of Brest; then, having trained Brest, we moved on to Rennes - and no one was overwhelmed by the price.
How Brest lured and won the champions of the world A special side in the history of the club became eighty, if at one point there was the activity of President Francois Ivinek and the support of “Leclerc” -. We can say that it was not Brest that was strong, but “Brest Armoric” - this is how Ivinek renamed the club in honor of the ancient name of Brittany, given by the Gauls. And the leaders of the Brest settlement are simply enemies.
For example, I hate that people could have come to that team after the goal at the World Championship final, and for the survivors. Jose Luis Brown helped Maradona win the World Championship, defeating Harald Schumacher in the battle of the titans for the 1986 World Cup - and moving to the team that previously won the French Championship on the 14th.
Not all transfers were so successful, but, for example, David Ginola, the upcoming Premier League, Brest lured away from FC Paris. Converting the idea of \u200b\u200ba lover of a garish life to leave the capital for a remote province - then Ginola will have both PSG and Tottenham, and they can turn around. Another transfer of that Brest connection with the hero of recent days: Gonzalo Higuain was born in Brest the same way that his father Jorge became one of the “pirates” in 1987.
With such signings, Brest did not reach great heights: its shortest result until now was the eighth place in the 86/87 season, and it seems that such “fat” rocks in the 1988 violites. And then the “fat” fates ended.
It’s over, since the “pirates” have stopped scouring the shores. For example, the stink of another division (! ) signed the star of the team for Paraguay Roberto Cabanas - let him with his 25 goals, madly, he managed to turn to death. The 90/91 season is a milestone in the history of all European football: since every team did not fly due to the sporting principle, Brest and Bordeaux and Nice were demoted from the class for the Borg. But the “pirates” were not happy about it: they again signed the superstar of the Argentine national team from another division (! ), penalty king Sergio Goicoechea. It’s not surprising that the club was re-formed for the 91/92 season.
The punishment for such waste of money was probably two decades without major league matches for the place. Its inhabitants could write that two of these great graves helped France become champions of the world. Bernard Lama engraved for Brest before being demoted in class (after his exit, “pirates” and decided to sign Goykoechea) and went to the 1998 Emergency as a reserve goalkeeper. And Stefan Givarsh was the main forward of the team of Eme Jacquet. For the first team of Brest, he played very little, but joined the academy of this club.
Do you want to go to a professional Sign Riberi!
Apparently, in place of the re-formed club, a new club has appeared, which will make its way to the elite from the ranks of amateurs. Until 2004, Brest was on the equal footing of amateurs, until it was focused on its path “Revealed with a Scar”.
Assess, before speaking, how low the level of Frank Riberie is, until it is revealed: “Pirates” became the third team for him, who played in the third division of France. Apparently, having no less regard for his age in his old age, he went to finish his studies in Salernitana: after these trips through the villages, you and the outsider of the Series And for happiness. So, Riberi won in such a way that he helped Brest enter League 2, and himself – from League 1. Metz discovered the new Robert Pirez and knew the talent of the French “quagmire”!
2010 Rock Brest Viyshov has a league and has been running for three seasons. It’s like a team, like a team that fought for survival five years ago, not like today’s Brest. Brest is alive, even to the humble lives of the elevator team and the story of the Conference League has not died recently.
Moreover: the arrival of the Denis Le Saint club in 2016, which is strongly supported by the right, can hardly be called a factor of success. With him, the team just got out of the league for the third season, in 2021 they took 17th place - the same repeat of fate resulted in flights. Brest has one of the most modest budgets in Liza, so the stadium is such that they didn’t bring any rival for the Champions League “pirated” from Brest (they are playing in Guingamps) – with the aim of praising Le Sainte for the first time this year.
The person who changed everything - and is not at all similar to “The person who changed everything” No, the person who changed the watermelon into a carriage was the person herself, as they said in the face of renewed hopelessness. Before the 23/24 season, all experts named “Pirates” among the main contenders for the title – and the choice of coach would rather be an argument for the benefit of this thought, but it would be more likely to overstep the mark.
Erik Rua did not serve as the head coach of TWELVE Rocks. Do you know a lot of successful applications of turning around after such a challenging creative outlet It’s all the same that Anatoly Dem’yanenko, after being released from Volina in the 12/13 season, got rid of someone (he wanted to work in Nitri during this hour). News from Oleg Blokhin after the rest of the place, the work pause is still shorter.
The work of a trainer still requires practice, and after a painful pause it is even difficult to turn around. A trick with turns of Roy, predicting Raymond Domenech’s approach to Lyon in 2020 – and “Astronomer” after 10 years without work and two months of not working, having lost everything. I, most importantly: Rua I had no success in the past. One piece of evidence - the repeat of the fate of the robots in Nice, since they were released through the threat of villiot, and the new season of Nice is in the fourth month.
Ale, perhaps, football has already changed so much that the canonical old-school manager, who looked old at the beginning of the tenth century, now looks like an innovator. Right now Brest is the leader of the Champions League for the number of martial arts won; last season, becoming the first winter showman in France. Only Sparta in this Champions League has an average pass accuracy even lower, less “passing”, behind the average Volodin ball is 32 out of 36 participants. Results? Victories over PSV, Sparta, Sturm and Red Bull (over the rest - 4:0), draw with Bayer, a hundred-hundredth guarantee of the Champions League playoffs and a real fight for the top 8. Let me remind you, we are talking about the team, since France does not have a budget to reach the top 8.
Brest loves to hang on to the penalty area, fight in all areas of the field (for the third place in the Champions League), play with long passes - and put the goalkeeper in front of them for a kick, and not for a great kick. Marco Bizot had a lot of success in the Netherlands, in Belgium - and before the Champions League, it was ahead of the French.
What’s typical is that the club doesn’t like what they value Rua for motivational promotions. Erik is the very example of what is impossible, and his calls to the team, where most of whose rock debuted in the European Cups, without seeming to be about the Champions League, obviously become effective. As the coach said: “People laughed at this for two reasons, because I am connected with certain clubs.”. Now, you might laugh less.”.
Of course, Brest has its own stars. Krim Bizota, the supporter of Le-Melu, who is intimidated by the neutral obsessive robots; Kenny Lala, who miraculously reaches the penalty area; Zhisnik Chardonnay – a legend of the team that played for Liza 2; the most productive fighter of the team, Romain Del Castillo... Ale, vibachte, Le-Mel navіt in Norwich, losing to the competition, Lala fought for up to 32 years in Liza 1 including for vizhivaniya - and so on. Most of this warehouse can’t be named with future mirrors, because the stink is found in another part of the quarry.
Club zigrav u moneyball? Even during the 22/23 season, Brest began to have problems with the forwards, signing Loika Remi and Islam Slimani. The canonical pursuit of popular names - and, of course, without solving the problem for anyone. No, all right, having changed Rua - and from whom it is even more remarkable, how different he is from the typical miracle-working coach of the 21st century.
We are not afraid of shouting like a gravel: from the bright Marseille to Sunderland and Rayo Vallecano, to help them write the best part of their history (7th place in the Premier League and 11th place in La. Having finished his career in Nice in 2004, and as a coach for the past six years, he had previously worked for the same club either as a sports director or as a communications director.. If anyone ever asked him about that first pause, he confirmed: “I had no intention of becoming a coach.”. I want to learn about what’s new and accept other posts.”.
For all the successes of Liza champions, the head match of Rua at Brest must be called the incredible 5:4 at the derby. And the main merit goes to those who made the Brittany derby full-time Since these crazy 12 fatal breaks in coaching, Roy was partly the sporting director of Lanci (from 2017-19. , so it’s difficult to attribute the club’s remaining successes to him), partly – at Watford, as there was a good deal between the team and the coaching staff, and partly just based on. At Brest, Rua speaks of the importance of the fact that two of his sidekicks have been working for the club for a long time - and adds: “Brest is losing its normal club, and normality in football is becoming rare.”.
It’s important to be careful.
