Team Focus: Are Rennes Finally On Their Way Up? Never judge any team on the first day of their season. Stade Rennais, to widespread surprise, are the latest to prove that cliché true. When they were beaten 2-1 at Bastia in their season opener, you’d have given coach Philippe Montanier little chance of hanging onto his job until Chris...

Team Focus: What’s Going Wrong for Montanier at Rennes?

by Andy Brassell at Tuesday, Mar 18 2014 10:53
Team Focus: What’s Going Wrong for Montanier at Rennes? There are many variations of circumspection that the majority of footballers employ in post-match interviews, flitting between platitudes, faux humility and light boredom.

by Andrew Gibney at Tuesday, Feb 28 2012 16:38
Team Focus: Brittany Fears: Where the Ligue 1 Title Could be Won & Lost It was a strange weekend over in Ligue 1.

Of all ten games, only three of the sides playing away from ...
