Great disappointment of this first part of the season, the Stade Rennais took a 180 degree turn to correct the situation. After banking on foreign players without experience in Ligue 1 last summer, the Breton club bet on experience by attracting the experienced Seko Fofana.
A choice reinforcement for Jorge Sampaoli, who did not hide his enthusiasm at the idea of managing the Ivorian international. “ What I hope for from a player like Seko is his energy, his aggressiveness, his forward projections, his competitive spirit. announced Sampaoli.
“He’s a player who brings together what the team needs”
“He is a player who will help us a lot in aspects of the game where the team was sometimes lacking. He’s a player who brings together what the team needs.” continued the Argentinian technician, delighted to be able to count on such a highly rated recruit.
It remains to be seen whether Fofana can be lined up against Nice this Friday0 “ We hope he can play a few minutes, but in truth we don’t know his physical condition. And he doesn’t yet know our style of play.”concluded the Rennes coach.
