Jimmy Briand
Trained at Rennes’ Academy, Jimmy Briand has all the qualities of a modern striker. His pace and his explosive power are amongst the qualities that seduced all of his coaches so far. However, Jimmy struggled to impose himself as a regular starter for the club. For three years, he remained a substitute to strikers such as Frei and Utaka. In 2006-2007, eventually, he became one of Rennes’ main offensive weapons. Since then, he impressed by his power and fighting spirit on the front of Rennes’ attack, despite a recurrent lack of composure in front of the goals. Regularly called up to the French National Squad by Raymond Domenech, he saw the end of his 2008-2009 season wasted by a cruel knee injury during a training session with Les Bleus. Back on the pitch at the end of 2009, Briand progressively comes back to his best and to Rennes, starting eleven. In February 2010, he reached an agreement with the club’s management to extend his contract for another 3 years, allowing Rennes to perceive a fee on a possible transfer at the end of the season.
