“It was difficult to see that the club was looking for someone in my position. That meant I didn't do the work during the first part of the season. But when you are a footballer, you know that competition is always present. I told myself that I had to question myself and work more. What I did to feel good at the start of the second part of the championship. » This is what Warmed Omari said a few days after the end of the 2024 winter transfer window.
Reassured by the absence of recruitment for his position (Alidu Seidu was no longer recruited for the right-back position), the former French international hopeful therefore had the way clear to establish himself in the Rennes rearguard alongside Arthur Theate. But if he retains the blind confidence of Julien Stéphan, Omari clearly appears to be in overdrive for several weeks.
Warmed Omari completely missed out against PSG
His performance against PSG is the perfect example since the native of Bandraboua in Mayotte experienced a real nightmare against a Kylian Mbappé who had been struggling offensively for several weeks. Unable to follow the French world champion, Omari missed everything and made many bad choices. Credited with a 3 in The Teamguilty according to the sports daily of “too much hesitation”, he obtained the same rating from our editorial team in our match notes.
Guilty on the penalty conceded, at fault on the only goal of the match where he deflected the strike from PSG's number 7, the Rennes defender seemed off base and quite angry throughout the match. Mbappé understood this well and did not hesitate to challenge his evening opponent, who lost his nerve at the end of the match, wanting to do battle with the future Real Madrid player.
Kylian Mbappé made him crack…
Seeming to want to explain himself to Kylian Mbappé, Omari had to be held back by several Rennais, including Arthur Theate and Alidu Seidu.
Asked about the loss of control of his defender, Julien Stéphan preferred to kick into touch, even if he conceded at the microphone of bein Sports that there had been a little “of annoyance”. “I don’t know what happened. I can talk about the match, what I saw, what I mastered. The rest I can't tell you. » It now remains for the Rennes coach to think about the contours of the Rennes rearguard for the next matches.
Particularly tender as soon as the level rises, Warmed Omari struggles to regain his level of performance which was his during the 2021-22 season, that of the revelation for him under the orders of Bruno Genesio. It must be said that he then played alongside Nayef Aguerd, who then left for England. Under contract until June 2027, the Rennes number 23, seriously scratched by the supporters of the Breton club on social networks, will have to wake up, otherwise there will be serious disappointments in the months to come…
