Beaten in Lille (0-1) for his first time on the Stade Rennais bench, Jorge Sampaoli will already be under high pressure next Saturday for the reception of AS Saint-Étienne at Roazhon Park (5 p.m.).
Stade Rennais is in trouble. Despite the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli on the sidelines, replacing Julien Stéphan, the electroshock did not take place. On Sunday, the Rouge et Noir regained a semblance of defensive cohesion but lost to LOSC (0-1). Before receiving ASSE this Saturday at Roazhon Park (5 p.m.) as part of the 13e day of Ligue 1, Daniel Riolo castigated the casual attitude of the Stade Rennais players in the North.
Riolo tackles Rennais
“From Sampaoli, we saw just the hat,” he tackled at the microphone of RMC Sport. There, it's not even a construction site, it's the hole in the ground where you put pylons and large blocks of steel. In this club, you have to start all over again. Pinault, he has to go, with Salma Hayek under his arm! Are you aware that you have a salary and a contract? Just run, talk to each other. This is beyond shame, shame to receive your salary for being so weak. They are professional players, they have no right to behave like that. It's pathetic, it's going to be complicated. »
The Sampaoli resolution expected now
Florent Gautreau preferred to nuance but remains convinced that the hardest part is now coming for Sampaoli. “It was a small Lille against a very small Rennes, that’s what’s worrying,” he analyzed. It was a wild card match for Sampaoli. Nobody in Rennes thought he was going to revolutionize the team in that match. The worst scenario for him could be now because the Rennais have a sequence of three matches where they host Saint-Étienne, go to Nantes then host Angers. There, the Rennais will not understand, you have to win by showing things. It starts now for him. Sampaoli had time during the break, he saw his team compete, he put his system in place, restarted for a few days like Jordan James. But, in Lille, the Sampaoli effect in terms of intensity and motivation did not take place. »
