Stade Rennais fans have not taken well to the pounding their team got at the hands of Quevilly in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France and the situation seems to have gotten the best out of the players and coach
Once again, Stade Rennais will finish the current year with no silverware to show for their efforts. Since 1971, the Bretons have not held a trophy. The closest they got to do so was a couple of nights back when they faced Quevilly in the semi-final of Coupe
de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130.
In the aftermath of the game, coach Frederic Antonetti expressed his disappointment at what had happened in the game. The next day, reports suggested that the Frenchman may well be relieved of his duties by the end of the campaign. However, Antonetti says
that he will respect his contract and will not leave the club.
L’Equipe says that a group of supporters did not spare the players upon their return to Rennais at 3am.
Same was the case with Antonetti who was heckled by journalists before he even go out of his car.
“Discontent is logical but any disappointment of fans never reaches half of mine. One of them wanted to kick his feet in my car. I had the shareholder on the phone who told me about the things that have happened. At the head of this club, there is a real
storm. I have a contract and I will honour it.”
However, reports claim that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrick-c29254 Le Lay might not remain the chairman of the Bretons for long. L’Equipe argues that the chairman’s complicated relationships with various staff members over the course of the campaign may have already sealed his future.
However, this might not be enough to restore calm in a team that’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Yann M’Vila was held back by a security guard in training yesterday to prevent him from coming to blows with a fan who had called him and his teammates
“A bunch of F****** clowns”.
