Stade Rennais is going through a difficult period, despite the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli as new coach, succeeding Julien Stéphan. This appointment did not have the desired effect, and the team continues to show weaknesses.
In their last match against LOSC, the players showed some defensive improvement, but it was not enough to avoid a 0-1 defeat. The club seems to lack fighting spirit, according to Florent Gautreau of RMC Sport.
“The players did not enter the battle at all,” analyzes Florent Gautreau on RMC Sport. The Sampaoli effect, the electroshock side in terms of intensity and motivation, did not take place. The construction site is important. »
Before the next match against ASSE, Daniel Riolo harshly criticized the attitude of the Rennes players. He describes the club's current situation as a huge construction site to rebuild.
Riolo did not mince his words in emphasizing the need to start all over again at Stade Rennais. He also highlighted the casual attitude of the players, who, according to him, do not justify their salaries by their current performances.
“From Sampaoli, we saw just the hat. There, it's not even a construction site, it's the hole in the ground where you put pylons and large blocks of steel. In this club, you have to start all over again. »
Riolo insisted that professional players have obligations to the club and the fans. The lack of communication and cohesion on the pitch is unacceptable at this level of competition.
As Stade Rennais prepare to face ASSE, the team is under pressure to show significant improvement. Expectations are high, and coach Sampaoli is expected to transform the dynamic of the group.
