After the departure of Julien Stéphan, Stade Rennais bet on explosiveness and eccentricity by welcoming Jorge Sampaoli. The Argentine technician has already targeted a major problem in the squad.
The problems at Stade Rennais will not be resolved during an international break. However, with the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli, things will gradually change. At least, that’s what all observers of the Breton club want. Before the arrival of the Argentinian technician, Julien Stéphan did not find any solution. Too little used recruits, a squad which has never managed to fully get into it since the start of the season, glaring weaknesses defensively and offensively are all reasons which explain Rennes' difficulties. For Jorge Sampaoli, however, there is one fact, however fundamental, which must absolutely be found: team cohesion.
Jorge Sampaoli must recreate a group
According to information from the insider Mohamed Toubache-TerJorge Sampaoli would not have been very satisfied with his first steps at the head of his new team. In question, a glaring lack of group cohesion according to his observations. His team would not be one. The Argentine technician therefore has a first line of work which “will require patience” : create a powerful and confident collective. This is how he succeeded, in particular, in raising the level of play of Olympique de Marseille during his short one-season stint.
That's not all, by the way. Our colleague affirms that the group is very happy to discover Jorge Sampaoli on a daily basis. We can imagine that his natural joie de vivre and his passion for football will be transmitted to his players. How to help Stade Rennais restart? Answer this Sunday against Lille in Ligue 1.
