Yann M’Vila, French international (22 caps, 1 goal) currently at Caen, settles scores with Rennes, his training club, which he accuses of not having reached out to him in 2015 after his departure from Inter Milan .
Yann M’Vila (34) is bitter against Stade Rennais, his training club. Guest of the Rouge et Bleu podcast on Sweet FM radio and the Ouest-France newspaper, the Caen midfielder deplored the absence of a helping hand from the Breton club in the winter of 2015 after an inconclusive loan to Inter Milan . If he was still under contract with Rubin Kazan at the time, he headed to Stade Rennais.
“Rennes took me a bit for an idiot”
“When I talk about Rennes, I speak in the past tense,” says the French international (22 caps, 1 goal). “Because when I was in trouble and I asked them for help, the club wasn’t there. I don’t even know if in the years to come, a guy playing for Stade Rennais will make 22 international selections for Rennes I could have gone to war with this club to leave but I was good and out of loyalty I stayed.
“When I try to come back just to train with the club, I get refused every door,” he continues. “Even training individually was no. It was in 2015, after Inter Milan. I had played six months and then I did six months without a club. Conversely, it’s very what Caen is doing, helping Alexis Beka Beka to get back on track. It’s a very strong gesture to help someone who is not doing well. Rennes took me a bit for an idiot.
Launched at the age of 19 in the first team under the orders of Frédéric Antonetti, the player established himself in the Rennes midfield to the point of becoming a French international in August 2010. Laurent Blanc, then coach of the Blues, made him his indisputable starter as sentinel until Euro 2012. M’Vila left the club six months later to join the Russian club Rubin Kazan in January 2013.
“I anticipate everything,” he continues on his aborted return to Rennes two years later. “In my life but also for football. At the time, the coach of the reserve team was Laurent Huard. I get along very well with him, so I called him to ask if I could come He told me that there was no problem, that I wouldn’t play the games etc, but that I could train. Then I go to a match and I see the coach. pros, Philippe Montanier doesn’t close the door either. They call me and tell me that the professional coach and the reserve coach don’t want to… That’s life, that’s how it is. .” He concludes by regretting a lack of recognition from the Red and Black towards him. “I don’t even know if I’m on their walls.”
