Rennes: Seko Fofana brushes aside this dirty rumor

Rennes' flagship recruit this winter, Seko Fofana is unable to have the impact he had when he shone in Lens. The midfielder denies being physically burned by his adventure in Saudi Arabia.

The ambitious transfer window carried out last summer and then this winter changes absolutely nothing in the health of Stade Rennais. Jorge Sampaoli's team continues to sink into crisis, and finds itself on the edge of the red zone, with an upcoming trip to Monaco and a Coupe de France already over. The anger of the supporters is felt and it seems understandable as the gap between investments and fine speeches, and what is shown on the ground, is palpable. The arrivals of Brice Samba and Seko Fofana did not resolve anything. It must be said that the former Lens goalkeeper does not reassure with his fairly random restarts and exits away from the goal, even if his parades on his line made it possible to avoid the worst. For the Ivorian international, it is a player who is at the end of his rope who signed, and it shows.

Fofana, Jorge Sampaoli does not help him

Not satisfied with his position, since he was put on the side due to not being able to hold his own in the axis for the moment, Fofana nevertheless keeps a positive and combative speech. “ I have fewer benchmarks a step higher on the pitch, but the coach has tactics, ideas, these are things that must be respected. I am someone who also takes responsibility. I'm not going to hide behind this.”confided the former RC Lens metronome, who brushed aside the rumor about his catastrophic state of form. “ I have felt good since I arrived here. Before, I was on vacation, I had two training sessions and I played against Nice. I am not physically on the street. You have to continue to believe in it. I am someone who fights every day, and I like this type of event, I am convinced that we will turn things around », promised the Ivorian Elephant, convinced that things will eventually turn out well for Stade Rennais which is getting dangerously close to the danger zone.
