Brest couldn't make a good start to this season indeed. But I'm not surprised. Their performance in the previous season was such an extra that it is difficult to expect the same thing. They don't have such squad to be competitive every season. This kind of teams sometimes have a really good form throughout a season. Like Girona example in the La Liga. The only difference might be that Girona had a better squad.
Coming back to the game, PSG should be winning this one without big problems. PSG are also not the same. They are even stronger since parting ways with Mbappe, lol.
It's surprising to see that Brest has lost two games and won just one in three games. They are playing in the Champions League because they finished third last season. Brest fans would have been expecting a more fruitful season. This poor performance might be an indication that they will not do well in Europe. The club didn't do well in the transfer window. Maybe it was because of a lack of funds. They signed some average players such as Mama Balde, Kamory Doumba, and Julian Le Cardinal; others were loan players. Anyway, we cannot conclude a team with just three games, they might improve as they play more games.
Brest is actually a team competing in the middle of the table, but last season they were surprisingly able to show a very good performance so that they were able to be in 3rd position and also go to the Champions League to represent Ligue 1 with Paris Saint Germain and Monaco. It was an achievement for them because they were able to show something good like that. This season they started the league with a less than good performance so that they have already felt 2 defeats. I personally am not too surprised if Brest declines at this time, because they have just been in the top board and maybe they are not used to the pressure and expectations that come to them. There is still time for them to rise and return to showing performance like last season.
In my opinion, what is happening is the following: they had a good squad, it was not a squad made up of expensive players, but it was a squad made up of talented players, even if they were cheap, but these players left the team, I am talking about players like:
Lilian Brassier,
Martín Satriano,
Jérémy Le Douaron. I did not see them play this season. So I assume they have already left the team. If I am wrong, correct me. As some have already said, they made some signings, but they are no longer the same team as last season. Now they have to deal with the problem in attack and defense. Last season they had games where they conceded a lot of goals, but they had a good attack that scored a lot of goals, it was worth it. But now they have a terrible attack and a terrible defense, it is not worth it.
PSG management is making a good decision:
PSG prepare Luis Enrique contract extension
According to a report by Fabrizio Romano, Paris Saint-Germain have prepared Luis Enrique a contract extension. The Spanish manager has impressed during his time in the capital, and the club would like to make him a key part of their long-term project. As it currently stands, Luis Enrique is entering the final year of his contract with it set to expire in 2025.
