Bourigeaud: “We are stupid”
Benjamin Bourigeaud in the micro of RMC Sport: “It’s not overconfidence. We played the game we needed. We had a great start, we were 3-0 away from home. We had a weak moment at the end of the first half. – half time, we tried to do our best. But I think that at the end of the game we should try to do better than that. It is a professional fault not to have won today. We are crazy, because that 3-0 away game we have to close the shop. Honestly, we don’t have the right … “
“I don’t know what happened. We tell each other things. We just don’t have the right. We play a perfect match and then after … We make too many touches, we try to dribble when at the end of the game you have to take zero risks and free the ball. Today we show that we still have to learn. At some point you will have to stop, ask yourself the right questions and do what it takes to keep the score. “
“There will be a final to play at home. It will be up to us to do the work. Unfortunately we would have liked to have done the work here but we ruined the party at the end of the game. Nothing is finished. There were many positives despite everything.”
AFTER THE 3-0, THE BRETONIANS LEAVE TURKEY WITH A DRAW!
It’s over and it’s cruel for Rennes! After leading 3-0, the Bretons collapsed in the second period and we had to concede a draw against Fenerbahce (3-3)! The Turks keep the first place at the cost of an incredible comeback and everything will be decided on the last day. Either the Bretons finish first and go to the round of 16, or they finish 2nd and face a Champions League club in the play-offs. Gouiri (doubled) and Terrier are the Breton scorers tonight.
