There is never an encouraging defeat. But by analyzing the scenario of the opposition between Reims and Rennes this Saturday, the Reims supporters will prefer to retain the brave state of mind and the good reaction of their proteges. They may also regret a lack of realism at the start of the match which would certainly have offered another scenario. From the very first minutes, the men ofOscar Garcia operated a high pressing as they are used to doing at the start of the match. What seriously disrupt the Breton machine. By recovering balloons in the opposing camp, Reims gave Rennes a few cold sweats. But neither Valon Berishaneither Nathanael Mbuku failed to score. Ineffective, the Rémois would then drop the flag physically. The people of Rennes, clinical, do not let themselves be asked. In four minutes, Benjamin Bourigeaud was going to bend the premises, after two great collective actions.
Stunned, the Rémois struggled to react. And the pause does not change much. Worse, Thomas Foket was powerless against the speed of Martin Terrier. The Rennais then adjusted Predrag Rajkovic for the 3-0. The changes made by Oscar Garcia would still change the face of the Red and Whites. Carried by more impactful substitutes, Reims reacted well. On a cross from the left, Ghislain Konan found Maxime Busi. The Belgian reduced the mark with a nice spiked header. Reims pushes and Rennes retreats. On a good deed, Ilan Kebbal is mowed down in the penalty area and causes a penalty. Yes Moussa Doumbia missed it, the Rémois were going to have another chance a few minutes later because of a hand in the surface. This time Jens Cajust the offering was not missing. The last minutes are reims. Without however managing to bend the Bretons. Valiant, the Rémois will regret their realism and a black hole of twenty minutes in the middle of matches. There is no doubt that this state of mind will bring in a few more points by the end of the season.
