After its defeat in Paris (1-3) and the surprise dismissal of president Olivier Cloarec in favor of Arnaud Pouille, Stade Rennais failed to revive. With this fourth defeat, Rennes is slipping dangerously, counting only seven units. The future of Julien Stephan already seems to be written in dotted lines…
After celebrating Benjamin Bourigeaud, who came to inaugurate a fresco in his image and receive the city’s medal of honor, Roazhon Park has never really been able to get excited. With an athletic and technical dimension far above, and its imperial duo in recovery Zakaria/L. Camara, Monaco never seemed worried, quickly taking the lead through Kehrer (6′). If Rennes tried to wrap up the evening, with Blas’ sublime strike (11′), Hutter’s players displayed their know-how, quickly finding the fault thanks to Ben Seghir’s passing game and the vista of Balogun (22′).
The derby in Brest will be expensive
Sparkling throughout the match, Ben Seghir found the bar (49′). The Rennes defense once again failed. With Ostigard, as in the Park, the most friable element. On his line, Mandanda was more than worrying, he the armband wearer… In the game, Rennes struggled for a long time to be dangerous, settling for long shots, before accelerating at the start of the second act. But the Monegasques did not give up a crumb of ground. The premiere of the Colombian Andres Gomez in Rennes did not change the situation. No more than that of Jota, who had tried on his left wing, but without finding reward. Note that Gronbaek, very little in sight, left early, injured in the ankle (45′). With one point taken from the last nine possible, this Rennes without spring worries. In two weeks, the derby in Brest will be expensive, very expensive…
