2010-2011 Season

Five players from the « Rouge et Noir » squad will be missing at the Piverdière this mid-week. The Reason? Called-up with their selection, they will come back only later this week to prepare Saturday’s derby. A round-up of the absents and their schedule.

Ligue 1, Auxerre 2 - 1 Stade rennais. Antonetti rests Marveaux, the Liverpool manager at the Stadium to watch M’Vila, Rennes’ away defensive record is knocked and the league standing is always tighter. All the echoes and declarations following Stade Rennes’ defeat to AJ Auxerre this Sunday.

Ligue 1, Auxerre 2 - 1 Stade rennais. Rarely successful at l'Abbé-Deschamps, Stade Rennes were once more unable to get the 3 points from their trip in Bourgogne. Worse, Frédéric Antonetti’s men conceded two goals and a defeat. They have now failed to win since October 3rd.

Ligue 1, Auxerre - Stade rennais, Sunday, 17:00 CET. With Mangane doubtful, Frédéric Antonetti decided to call nineteen players to travel in Bourgogne this Sunday. Kana-Biyik and Leroy are returning to the squad. Tettey is out.

« At the beginning of a learning curve », the Rouge et Noir are travelling to the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps on Sunday, with the aim to keep their position up the Ligue 1 table. For Frédéric Antonetti, at this moment, the AJ Auxerre is epitomising the calm and stability that allow a club with limited resources to manage good results.

Stade Rennes will face AJ Auxerre, this Sunday 17:00 CET at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps, as part of Ligue 1’s Game Week 13. A history of encounters between the teams.

On Wednesday afternoon, Laurent Blanc announced his squad for France’s next friendly, to be played against England at Wembley. Rennes’ Yann M’Vila will be involved in the game, while Rod Fanni will remain in Brittany

Knocking at the doors of the French squad only a few months ago, Sylvain Marveaux is drifting through this early season like a ghost. Not concerned, not decisive, the left winger seems miles away to the level of skill he displayed last season. Despite this, Frédéric Antonetti seems to have unlimited confidence in his player’s ability. But for how long?

CFA, Stade rennais 0 - 0 La Vitréenne. Is it the dawn of better days for Rennes’ reserve? Trashed on their own field by Le Mans on October 9th, Laurent Huard’s youngsters came back to a more rigorous and serene attitude against La Vitréenne to manage a draw and trigger some optimism. As long as they can repeat that sort of performance in the future.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Olympique Lyonnais. After a storming start and a brilliant first-half, Stade Rennes failed to keep the rhythm in the second half and were left to share the points with Lyon. The “Rouge et Noir” will regret the many missed opportunities in the first half. More of a concern, Rennes is now looking for a victory since over a month and the success against Toulouse (3-1) in the eighth game week.
