Brest Festival in Salzburg
In French Brittany, in Finisterre, there is a team “Brest”, which, unlike many clubs, decided to adequately represent French football in the Champions League. The debutant of the main continental competition lost important players in the summer and spent almost no money to assemble a team that everyone thought was dead before they even played in the league. After defeating Sturm Graz on the first day, another Austrian, Salzburg, fell victim to the hunger and pride of a team with nothing to lose, winning 0–4 and finishing first in the Champions League. A historic victory for French football, so criticized, denied and cursed in Europe.
Before that, Brest, of course, came out unscathed from the bombing Nobody knew how they came out on top at half-time, but it wasn’t 0-2 either, because Sima, the scorer of the first goal, missed a clear opportunity midway through the first half. Led by Pepijn Lijnders, Klopp’s assistant at Liverpool, Salzburg took to the pitch like a howitzer, amassing scores of players on the opposition pitch and subjugating the French, who were ineffective in the opening minutes. In fact, the Austrians took the lead from the start of the match with a corner that found the back of the net following an own goal from Kamara. However, the VAR warned the referee that Konate, being offside, was preventing Bizot from seeing.he therefore corrected his original decision at second instance.
Brest held on as best they could, without possession of the ball and without chances. But in football, team dominance is not synonymous with victory. In a sensational counter-attack, Ahorke turned and, under a throw-in signed by Modric himself, left Sima alone, who after a brilliant move made the score 0-1. The match, which was then dominated by Salzburg, gave wings to Brest, who dared to fight their rival in their stadium in a difficult scenario. Sima, inspired by his goal, missed a one-on-one, which could have been a death sentence. Konate and Bidstrup, both in a clear position, could have equalized before the break, but fortunately for Brest, both missed.
Football doesn’t understand logic because In the summer, this Brest was an excellent expert in the Champions League, and everyone wanted it. Eric Roy saw that Salzburg left a lot of space when the game was not over and put Mama Baldeextreme with supersonic speed. The winger created many dangers, and the goals followed one after another without stopping. The 0-2 score was scored by Kamara with an incredible shot. Sima 0-3a striker who barely played in a relegated Ligue 2 team like Angers last year. And Pereira-Lage’s 0-4 score sparked a frenzy in Brittany. Six out of six for Brest, which is now unstoppable in the Champions League.
