A surprise prepared by Génésio against Reims?

At the end of a perfect preparation process completed by the Stade Rennais, the group already appears to be attacking for the resumption of the championship. Against Reims in late December, Rouge et Noir are hoping to end the year on a positive note, despite some changes in the starting lineup.

100% wins, that’s the SRFC’s record in this lull period. In the final days of the World Cup, training intensified, thus allowing to learn more about the tactical implementations and level of form of some returning players. After the end of the World Cup in Qatar, the preparatory matches followed one another, while the last one ended yesterday with a score of 3-1 in favor of Rennes against Brest. although Génésio’s attempts paid off in friendlies, a group member could quickly return to the competition.

Mandanda already expected at the goal?

In this particular period, Steve Mandanda once again led a fantastic adventure with the French team. On the verge of a second consecutive world title, the SRFC goalkeeper has observed a longer rest period ahead of a match that ended only last Sunday. He is expected to return early 2023, the player would already be available to his coach, and would like to apply for a starting position as soon as the championship resumes against Reims.

Greatly affected by their defeat in the World Cup final, France’s players appear to have decided to drown their grief by quickly returning to work with their clubs. Indeed, Kylian Mbappé and Hugo Lloris were first to join Paris and Tottenham training camps. This initiative appears to have been followed by a good number of runners-up, now all focused on returning to league form.
