Stade Rennais Online

First team

TITRE

The youngsters in support

Coupe de France, Nice - Stade rennais, Saturday 20:45 CET. With seven players missing with injuries, international call-ups or suspension, Frédéric Antonetti will have to call upon players from the youth squad in order to complete his team.

TITRE

Benoît Costil : “We truly want to redeem ourselves”

Stade Rennais return to Nice on Saturday. After their defeat in Ligue 1 early December, Benoit Costil and the Rouge et Noir are keen to show their “true figure” during this game of the Coupe de France’s round of 32.

TITRE

Vincent Pajot : « the coach believes in me»

With half of the league season gone, Stade Rennes is installed in a good fifth position. With big performances against the big teams and disillusions against smaller sides, Vincent Pajot gives his views about the first half of the season, the Europa League results, his personal performances and the good dynamic of the French U21 team.

TITRE

A new year full of good intentions

Ligue 1, Caen 0 - 2 Stade Rennais. As in the Coupe de France, the Rennais didn’t miss their first match of 2012 in Ligue 1: the objective to finally win in Normandy has been fulfiled. Hesitant at the beginning of the match, the Rennais showed themselves more determined for most of the game.

TITRE

Rennes at ease on the road

Ligue 1, Caen 0 - 2 Stade Rennais. By scoring early through a genial inspiration by Kembo, Rennes had probably made half of the way at the Stade Michel d'Ornano. The Bretons would double their lead by Montaño, and managed to win in Caen for the first time in their history in Ligue 1.

TITRE

Sané, less than a surprise

Ligue 1, Caen - Stade Rennais, Saturday 21:00 CET. With the multiple departures to the AfCON(Boye, Hadji, Mangane et Pitroipa), Frédéric Antonetti is deprived of two major players. However, he will be able to enjoy three returns from suspension and the presence of Abdoulaye Sané, the Reserve’s best goal scorer with seven goals in CFA2.

TITRE

The keys to the second half of the season

This Saturday in Caen, Stade Rennais enter the second half of the league season. In order not to fall, the Rouge et Noir, fifth in Ligue 1, are betting on consistency, physical form and the experience from last season.

TITRE

A qualification without questions

Coupe de France, Stade rennais 3 - 0 Nancy. The Stade Rennais experienced a good debut to the year 2012. The Rouge et Noir had no problem to beat a very weak Nancy team, killing the game in the first half. With a three goals advantage at the break, the Rennais could control the game in the second half.

TITRE

After the break, no surprise

Coupe de France, Stade rennais - Nancy, Saturday 20:45 CET. For its first match of 2012, Stade Rennes should have all its players available to face Nancy. Against a L1 team in this Round of 64, time will not be to experimentation.

TITRE

It’s Gambardella Cup time!

Gambardella Cup, Stade Rennais - Sablé-sur-Sarthe, Sunday 14 :30. What are the ambitions of Stade Rennes’ U19s for the upcoming Gambardella Cup? How do they play? Who are the players composing Régis Le Bris’s youngsters? Stade Rennais Online bring the spotlights on young players with a mission: to win the trophy, just as Jean-Luc Arribart, Jimmy Briand and Yann M'Vila before them. Nothing but success.

TITRE

Is Stade Rennes a regional team?

Statistics. Often criticised for failing to give a place to local players, is Stade Rennes that far from its regional setting? With three Breton players and a lot of foreigners in its squad, is Rennes more distant to its base than other Ligue 1 clubs? Not so simple…

TITRE

A victory and a breath of fresh air before the holidays

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 0 Bordeaux. On the verge of implosion before the game, Rennes will enter the winter break with renewed serenity after a good victory against the Girondins. Rennes, shaky in the first half, was much more enterprising in the second, thanks in part to the entrance of Brahimi at half-time.

TITRE

Changes for an imperative victory ?

Ligue 1, Stade rennais - Bordeaux, Wednesday 19 :00 CET. For their last game in 2011, Stade Rennes will be under pressure to achieve a good result against Bordeaux. Mandjeck is the only absent while Mangane could return to the starting eleven.

TITRE

Rennes lose ground

Ligue 1, Ajaccio 1 - 0 Stade Rennais. Rennes struggles against the strugglers. Beaten by Ajaccio at the term of a very disappointing game, the Bretons – already beaten in Nice and held to a draw by Brest – are progressively losing touch with Ligue 1’s leading teams.

TITRE

A very familiar scenario

Europa League, Atlético Madrid 3 - 1 Stade rennais. By conceding three goals, all caused by individual errors, Stade Rennais has once again failed despite a good start to the game. With a reshuffled starting eleven, Rennes was equal to Atlético Madrid before collapsing in the closing ten minutes of the first half. A very costly absence.

TITRE

Against Atlético, Stade Rennais want to finish in style

Already out of the Europa League, Stade Rennes will play its final group phase game, on Thursday at Atlético Madrid. A prestigious game which will be used to give time on the field to players lacking it, rather than experience to the first team regulars.

TITRE

One squad for two games

Europa League, Atlético Madrid - Stade rennais, Thursday 21:05 CET and Ligue 1, Ajaccio - Stade rennais, Sunday 17:00 CET. Flown to Madrid this Wednesday evening, an enlarged Rennes squad of 25 players will then fly directly to Corsica without returning to Brittany. Without Dalmat but with Apam, Boukari, Kembo and Mangane.

TITRE

Rennes should have done better

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Brest. Behind on the score board after fifteen minutes, Rennes reacted well and equalised through Danzé. Antonetti’s men could not convert their domination with a goal. Because of their inability to find solutions and finish off chances, the Rennes are dropping two points at home.

TITRE

Kembo is there, not Boukari

Ligue 1, Stade rennais - Brest, Saturday 19:00 CET. Although he suffered a light thigh injury, Jirès Kembo is in the squad to face Brest. This is not the case for Razak Boukari, once again injured and out of the squad.

TITRE

Antonetti : “We are a true Academy-based club”

Before the derby against Brest, Frédéric Antonetti regrets that Stade Rennes is considered as equal to Lille, Lyon, Marseille and Paris. He explains that the difference in terms of financial power and the work accomplished by the club’s academy should be acknowledged more clearly.

TITRE

A very typical bad day for Rennes

Ligue 1, Nice 2 - 0 Stade Rennais. Against a solid Nice team, Stade Rennes was unrecognisable this Saturday evening. Lacking inspiration, lacking fighting-spirit, the « Rouge et Noir » have known one of their very typical bad days, and were logically beaten in a game wrapped-up by Nice before the interval.

TITRE

The Breton destroyers take on Nice

Scoring nearly two goals a game in Ligue 1, Stade Rennes has got a few creative, unpredictable players this season. A round-up of the available forwards before the trip to Nice on Saturday.

TITRE

The defence in questions

Ligue 1, Nice - Stade rennais, Saturday 21:00 CET. At the Stade du Ray this Saturday , Frédéric Antonetti should start with most of the players who took part in the victories against Lyon and Évian. With Mangane and Kana-Biyik, only the defence is surrounded with question-marks.

TITRE

Stade Rennes is out of the Europa League

Europa League, Stade rennais 0 - 0 Udinese. Following another draw against the Italian from Udinese, Stade Rennes has definitely lost its hopes of qualifying. The Rennais will play a friendly game in Madrid, since the Spanish team has already guaranteed its qualification.

TITRE

Antonetti to rotate his squad

Europa League, Stade Rennais - Udinese, Wednesday 19:00 CET. Forced to win if they want to keep their hopes of a qualification alive, Stade Rennes will field a “B” team against Udinese this Wednesday nonetheless. An opportunity for some to bounce back, for the other to take a breather.

TITRE

Féret’s very special slalom

Ligue 1, Stade rennais 3 - 2 Évian TG. The best Rennais on the pitch this Saturday, Julien Féret scored the first goal in a classy way. Following its playmaker – who scored a double – Stade Rennes managed to win a crazy game, marked by several controversial refereeing decisions.

TITRE

Rennes suffers but wins

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 3 - 2 Evian TG. Trailing at the interval despite scoring the first goal, Rennes finally managed to win at the end of an action-packed encounter. A really positive result for Rennes, who keeps on hanging on to the league leaders.

TITRE

Boukari returns

Ligue 1, Stade rennais - Évian, Saturday, 19:00 CET. Recovered of a light knee injury, Razak Boukari is returning in the Rennes squad this week-end. TheTogolese is the only nove;ty in a squad without any real surprise.

TITRE

“We should not stop at this point!”

After the superb victory in Lyon, Stade Rennais host newly promoted Évian-Thonon this Saturday. Used to give a hard time to the big teams, Jirès Kembo and the Bretons now want to find the way to beat smaller sides and remain at the top of Ligue 1.

TITRE

A triple comeback tainted with revenge

Former Heroes. This Saturday, the game between Stade Rennais and Évian Thonon-Gaillard will see three players returning to the Stade de la Route de Lorient for the first time. The much expected come back of Jérôme Leroy will be completed by those of Cédric Barbosa and Olivier Sorlin. Three players who all left Stade Rennes on a bitter note.
