2010-2011 Season

A soporific style of play, few goals scored. Despite their fourth position, Stade Rennes fails to create any enthusiasm. Why? How to make things better? Frédéric Antonetti and Jérôme Leroy bring a few possible answers.

On Wednesday evening, Antonetti was invited on French radio RMC. The possible extension of his contract, the criticism, Marveaux and Apam’s injuries, Lemoine’s return, the winter transfer window… Questioned over many hot topics, Rennes' manager gave his views.

It is official, Rod Fanni will join the Olympique de Marseille after three and a half seasons in Brittany. Arrived in Rennes with the aim to reach another level at the end of two seasons in Nice, he managed it, becoming a French senior international in the meantime. But although planned since a long time, his departure leaves the impression of an unfinished work.

Profile Cruelly selective, the Academy system leaves multitudes of players on the side of the road to professionalism. Each year, as Alexis Raud (formerly at the Stade Rennes Academy) this week-end, many of them profit of the Coupe de France to experience what their life could have been.

Ligue 1, Bordeaux 0 - 0 Stade Rennes. Rennes in the Canal + record book, a mute attack on the road, Stade Rennes game the most boring in the top flight… All echoes after the Bordeaux - Rennes game in Ligue 1’s matchday 17.

Ligue 1, Bordeaux 0 - 0 Stade rennais. Rennes and Bordeaux parted on a scoreless draw on Sunday evening, at the end of an exceptionally mediocre game. Visibly having a bad night, the Bretons were not helped by uninspired Girondins. The only satisfaction will be a point taken on the road. For the rest…

Ligue 1, Bordeaux - Stade rennais, Sunday 21:00 CET. Travelling to Gironde this week-end, the Stade Rennes squad will be the same one that beat Monaco last week-end. Still forced to do without several players, Frédéric Antonetti will be happy not to consider Fabien Lemoine as an injured player anymore.

Handicapped by numerous absences, Stade Rennes is close to breaking point, according to Frédéric Antonetti. On Sunday however, the team will travel to Bordeaux with the aim to remain in the Ligue 1 Top Five .
