Ten Stade Rennais players were called up with their national teams for Wednesday’s international friendlies. All the Results:
Aged only 20, Yann M'Vila experienced his first start as a French full international on wednesday night, against Norway (2-1). Successful beginnings for Rennes' midfielder, included in the list of 30 for the World Cup in South Africa by former coach Raymond Domenech but eventually sidelined from the group of 23. Press Overview:
The disconcerting Stéphane Dalmat was never able to reach his full potential. Questionable behaviour and career choices mined the way that could have led him to the national team. With the signature of a two years contract at the Stade Rennais, the 31 years old his taking on a new challenge. Perhaps the last in a very chaotic career.
Before they travel to Nancy next Saturday, eleven Stade Rennais players have been called up in their respective national teams, for friendly games this Wednesday. International Round-up.
Held to a draw against Lille (1-1), the Stade Rennais showed a very conquering attitude, at the Stade de la Route de Lorient, as they faced one of this season’s main title contenders. However, the “Rouge et Noir” will have to show more composure when it comes to finishing, if they want to play a major role in this championship.Stade Rennais Onlinelooks back on this week-end’s game.
After Danzé and Souprayen, the Stade Rennais has officially announced Yacine Brahimi’s three year contract extension. Tied to the club until June 2011, the attacking midfielder has extended by three more years, and is now contracted to the club until June 2014.
In their first Ligue 1 game of the season, Rennes and Lille ended up on a draw (1-1). Rennes had the edge for most of the encounter, but the “Rouge et Noir” lacked composure in front of the goal to get past their opponents. An encouraging draw however, as Frédéric Antonetti’s men showed real abilities, to be confirmed in the near future.
This Saturday (21:00), the Stade Rennais will face Lille in the 2010-2011 Ligue 1 first game week. A difficult opening for the “Rouge et Noir”, opposed to a direct competitor for Europe. The mission won’t be easy against one of the title contenders, but this game could also be an occasion for Frédéric Antonetti’s men to sublime after a rather tasteless pre-season.
Rennes won’t be ready for their first Ligue 1 encounter of the season against Lille. Unusually nervous, the manager puts the blame on numerous outside reasons, which prevent him to enjoy a serene start of the new season.
This morning, Laurent Blanc revealed his first selection as France’s national coach, in prevision of Les Bleus’ friendly against Norway, on August 11th. Rarely before, a selection had generated so much expectations and speculation, mostly because of the sanction inflicted to the 23 members of the World Cup squad, punished for their involvement in the Knysna strike. A novel and much younger selection, in which no less than three Rennes players are included.
With eleven players leaving the club this summer, the Stade Rennais showed much activity on the transfer market, adding six new recruits to the professional squad. With a renewed defence, a midfield lacking spontaneity and an attack missing Jimmy Briand, the “Rouge et Noir” will probably need some time before being able to display their full ability as a team.
Speaking to RMC, Pierrre Dréossi gave a new update on the club’s summer transfer market. For the first time, he didn’t refuse the possibility of Gyan leaving the club this summer, in case a “serious offer” was addressed. The Pinault Family’s right-hand man also admitted the Stade Rennais would consider Bangoura’s departure, and affirms Fanni won’t leave Rennes for Atletico Madrid.
A few days from the League restart, the “Rouge et Noir” failed to impress during the friendly games, creating a general feeling of scepticism regarding Rennes’ competitiveness for the 2010-2011 season. Are we heading towards another transition year, or are we preparing for the so long expected success? Stade Rennais Online analyses Frédéric Antonetti’s men pre-season.
This Thursday, new French national coach Laurent Blanc will unveil his first selection, for a trip to Norway on August 11th.

A week before the Ligue 1 kick-off against Lille, the Stade Rennais was held to a draw by Caen (1-1) for their final preparation friendly. Rennes scored first through Bangoura (34’), butCaen replied only 5 minutes later with a goal by El Arabi (39’). For this final test, Antonetti had decided to leave M’Vila and Montaño (banned for the first Ligue 1 game) on the bench. Souprayen, injured against Warsaw on Wednesday, was rested and left on the bench for this game.
Opposed to Spain, Abdoulaye Diallo and the French U19s managed a real achievement by beating the “Roja” (2-1) in the U19 European Nations Championship final. The young Rennes goalkeeper earned his first ever trophy, and will play the U20 World Cup next year with the same generation of French players. He is the tenth player trained in Rennes to win this continental in this age category.
This Saturday (19:00), Stade Rennais will play their final pre-season friendly against Caen, in Ouistreham. For this final rehearsal, the “Rouge et Noir” will have to show much more than they did last Wednesday against Legia Warsaw.
This Friday, the France U19 national team will face Spain in the European Championship final. Third choice in the goalkeeper hierarchy in Rennes, Abdoulaye Diallo has the chance to win his first major trophy since he turned professional. To manage this, the young Frenchmen will have to get past Spain, not an easy task for the “Bleuets”.

This Monday, Mickaël Pagis announced his retirement from football. The Stade Rennais striker, big favourite of the Route de Lorient supporters, is now thinking about his future. He is considering joining Frédéric Antonetti’s staff as a coach for the attacking lines.
Mickaël Pagis invited the press to La Piverdière this afternoon, to officially announce his retirement from football, aged 37. Brought to Rennes by Pierre Dréossi in 2007, the striker from Angers managed to make himself a special place in the supporters’ hearts with his incredible technical skills and a few moments of magic.

After a defeat against Brest last Wednesday (0-1), Stade Rennais lost again in a friendly game against another Brittany team, the FC Lorient this Saturday (2-1). Losing 2-0 at half-time after two goals from Ecuele Manga (37’) et Gameiro (39’, on penalty kick), Rennes will wait the end of the second half-time to score with Brahimi (90’). Despite an increase in the level of aggressiveness, the score will remain the same during the 30 minute extra time period.
After the defeat against Brest in the last friendly, Frédéric Antonetti is in doubt. The Stade Rennais manager is convinced his team won’t be at its full potential for the restart of the Ligue 1 season. Mainly because of recurrent problems in front of the goals, but also due to the absence of several player.
Rennes has been defeated by Brest (0-1) Wednesday evening, for their third pre-season friendly. A game in which Antonetti could try a few changes to his usual starting line-up, with Dalmat – a new signing – and Brahimi included in the starting eleven. The attacking line was composed of Bangoura, Montaño & Marveaux.
