The Stade Brestois Sentinel

Ibrahim Kanté beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 51. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Match19 Sep 2029
Stade Brestois bow out of the cup
AS Nancy go through and Stade Brestois go home, 1‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Bradley Locko hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Stade Brestois can pretend not to have heard.

Dominik Greif is the hero from the spot
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Dominik Greif: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Only the photograph left for Alexandre Tunkadi
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Alexandre Tunkadi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Stade Brestois the goodbyes have quietly begun.

A falling-out at Stade Brestois
Dominik Greif and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Hugo Magnetti falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Match19 Sep 2029
Two points walk out of the ground
Level with 92 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Stade Brestois had all but put away. AS Nancy will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Alexandre Tunkadi misses from twelve yards
It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.
In brief
