A few weeks after his induction, Jorge Sampaoli still struggling to find the right formula for Stade Rennais. With two victories and two defeats in Ligue 1, its Stade Rennais blows hot and cold.
The Argentine technician would like to strengthen the squad to get things back on track in the second half of the season, but he is aware of the difficulties inherent in the winter transfer window.
Sampaoli discusses transfer window priorities
“It’s a difficult market, because either the players who stand out are not available, or others have played little and find themselves without rhythm, explained the Rennes coach. That a player who stands out elsewhere arrives here seems complicated to me, even if I hope so. We talk about it, we thought in particular of an offensive player, a player who gives us new solutions on the attack line, but also in the middle.
“It’s a complicated market, we can always recruit players without rhythm but we are in an emergency situation, so I need players ready for January, not for the long term, he continued. If players arrive, I hope they will be ready to play. In January, we will meet very well prepared teams (Nice, OM, Brest, Monaco), January will determine a lot of things, I hope for good players who will allow us to improve the squad. »
