Zapping Foot National Top 10: Ligue 1’s top scorers in activity
Stade Rennais came to a halt in Ligue 1 last Sunday with a loss to OGC Nice at home. But now, it’s time for the Coupe de France for Bruno Genesio’s men, with a 100% Ligue 1 clash on Saturday night against FC Lorient in the 32nd round. Before this match, the Bretons coach was at a press conference and he was asked about the meeting, but also about the upcoming transfer window, which will open on January 1, 2022. And while Stade Rennais will have several players involved through CAN, like Kamaldeen Sulemana, Hamari Traoré, Nayef Aguerd or Alfred Gomis, Genesio may have cooled the hopes of Breton supporters.
No arrival during the winter transfer window?
Because during this press conference, Genesio hinted that there would be no arrival during the winter transfer window. “Strengthening for three or four weeks is still complicated. Because I have players who are able to compensate for absences, whether at right-back (Lorenz Assignon) or in central defense. Today ‘hui, if we recruit for example a central defender, what do we do with him when the CAN is going to end? And if it is a player who does not play, the time he gets on the road , it’s already over. If you bring a titular player to his club to play for a month and who finds himself number three or four when Aguerd returns, how is it going? “, assures Genesio, not eager to do n ‘ anything during the winter transfer window despite the departures from CAN of some of his men.
“At some point, you have to trust the players and we still have other young people behind who can help out in the event of a hard blow, like Lesley (Ugochukwu) for example in central defense, so that’s the choice we will certainly do, it is assumed, considered, I think it is the right decision “, he added, assuring that the only arrivals at Stade Rennais could be in the event of” serious injury “. This is clear to the supporters!
Genesio talks about the Rennes transfer window
