Brest head coach Eric Roy spoke about Shakhtar, whom he will play in the seventh round of the Champions League.
According to the specialist, the French expect to reach the 1/8 finals directly.
" We will be facing a team that is used to playing in this tournament, a real European giant, so we must be at the best level.
From the position we are in in the table, we are looking to take another step forward.
After that, even if we win, we will still have to get a result against Real Madrid, which shows what a challenge we still face. But if we can avoid two games in February, that will be great."
Rua noted that Shakhtar have not played since mid-December.
\? I can’t say,” Roy told Ouest-France.
In the Champions League standings, Brest is in seventh place after six games with 13 points. Shakhtar have four points and 27th position.
The match Shakhtar - Brest will take place tomorrow, January 22. Starts at 19. 45.
