Amine Gouiri, in great difficulty at Stade Rennais under the leadership of Julien Stéphan, now enters the plans of the new SRFC coach, Jorge Sampaoli. The Argentinian is counting on the Algerian striker to relaunch the Rennes attack.
Stade Rennais: Amine Gouiri, the recipe to revive the SRFC against ASSE?
Stade Rennais hosts AS Saint-Étienne this Saturday during the 13th day of Ligue 1. The Rennais are under pressure before this match since they remain on a disappointing record of seven defeats, two draws and only three victories in 12 days of Ligue 1. New coach Jorge Sampaoli has not yet found the recipe to revive his team. The Argentinian suffered a defeat (1-0) during his first official meeting against LOSC during the 12th day of Ligue 1.
But after a full week of preparation, Jorge Sampaoli hopes to see another version of Stade Rennais on the pitch. The Argentinian is looking for a player capable of making the difference at any time, of unblocking complicated situations. And for Jorge Sampaoli, Amine Gouiri could be this key element.
“I hope Gouiri can be that player. But today it is not. One day, it could be Gouiri. No doubt for multiple factors that I have not yet identified. With Marseille, I suffered enormously here. Rennes was fast with and without the ball. Rennes has lost that. For there to be leadership, I have to find these players who are unbalancing”declared Jorge Sampaoli at a press conference.
Since his arrival in Brittany, Amine Gouiri has scored 29 goals in 95 matches in all competitions. This season, he played 12 games with the Rouge et Noir and scored just one goal. The arrival of Jorge Sampaoli could allow him to show his full potential.
