The meeting between Rennes and Monaco this weekend in Ligue 1 is not suited to the environment on Enzo Le Fée’s pitch after the match.

A second season before Marseille (0-2), Stade Rennais was in the second half of the season, this time against AS Monaco at Roazhon Park (1-2), during the 15th season of Ligue 1. A setback which , on paper, is not considered humiliating, the Monegasque club not being of the same caliber as SRFC since the start of the 2023-2024 season.

In addition to the raw result, the progress of the match leaves an American taste to the Bretons. Despite their numerical superiority during the last quarter of an hour, following the expulsion of the first scorer Vanderson, Julien Stéphan’s players gave in a second time on a goal from Youssouf Fofana, Benjamin Bourigeaud’s penalty goal finally proving useless for the premises.

“We are where we should be”

At the end of the match, attacking midfielder Enzo Le Fée speaks on the microphone Main video. “Words are not easy. Every weekend, we think we will succeed in reacting. In the end, it’s all the same. You must not give up. The season is long. We are not at all where we wanted to be, but we are where we need to be. There are no results. You can see that it ends and continues until the end of the season in the same way, and the final payment is made in the summer. This is not the spirit of the group. We all want to bounce back and win games. May victory become normal again and not just unusual. We will work for this.

The former FC Lorient player abruptly concludes his analysis and calls out to his teammates: “We must, let us be courageous.” Twelfth with 15 points, Rennes from the relegation zone is quickly approaching. Next Thursday, the reception of the Spaniards Villarreal can validate qualification for the round of 16 of the Europa League. On condition of responding present on this occasion.
