Ligue 1: Toulouse FC 1 – http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stade-Rennais-FC-c40612 2; Frederic Antonetti pleased with Stade Rennes show 
Ligue 1 outfit, Stade Rennais FC, is closing gap on the league leaders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toulouse-FC-c40751. Team manager, Frederic Antonetti, was pleased as his side staged a classy performance against the home side and bagged
three crucial points.
Les Rouges et Noirs are currently placed second in the league table after this win, trailing the league leaders by two points who suffered a 1 – 0 loss against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montpellier-HSC-c39945. Antonetti has every right to be optimistic about his side’s chances of
lifting the Ligue 1 title for the first time in the club’s history. With 14 games left to play in the season, Antonetti’s men have a good chance to achieve this landmark.
Antonetti said, “I’m very happy. We found it tough to get into the match because Toulouse played at a furious pace that we struggled to keep up. We had won two in a row at home, but we needed to get some points on the road. If I said that now we’re
playing for the title, you’d say I was a raving madman”
 “There are five clubs who are in a higher bracket than us, but if the big sides don’t step up, then we’ll do everything. Stade Rennais deserves a lot of credit for launching so many promising young footballers. We’re doing a great thing for French
football and that deserves recognition”, he concluded.
On the other hand, Toulouse tactician, Alain Casanova was disappointed with the result, as his side was level 1 – 1 until TFC conceded a spot kick in the dying minutes of the match. Victor Montano converted the spot kick that saw Rennes bag all three
points. Consequently, TFC have dropped two places in the league table as they are currently placed 10th in the league table. Casanova blamed his side for not performing on the pitch, as young TFC side wasted many chances.
Rennes are looking a strong contender to emerge as the Ligue 1 champions as they have amassed 43 points from their 24 matches so far. Les Rouges et Noirs have to improve their record while playing away from Route de Lorient, as their record in front
of the home crowd has been superb so far in this season.
Antonetti will be hoping that his side can improve their form on the road in the coming weeks, if they want to remain in the hunt of the Ligue 1 title. Antonetti’s men will play their upcoming match next week against the relegation candidates, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RC-Lens-c40322,
at Route de Lorient. The tactician will be hoping that his side emerge victorious in this match, as any slipup can dent their hopes of becoming French champions.
