Bourguignons

By: Christophe | March 8th, 2009

As the mid-winter gloom lifts over les Rouge et Noir must now deal with the Auxerrois who are finally showing their rich promise. The Bourguignons are coming off a near perfect February that after three victories was capped with a draw to Toulouse. Jean Fernandez has crafted the right mix and made use of the tremendous talent pool the club develops. The return of Ireneusz Jeleń is at the root of their resurgence and must be met with total resistance by Rennais’ defending unit.

Sunday evening Rennais will need to call up their own recent play and establish not only the compelling energy and tempo that fought for a draw against Lyonnais but the cutting vision that dissected Lorient. With a call for revanche for last years loss in the championnat, Rennais must be careful going forward or they will become the next victim in the Auxerrois contre-attaque. A victory for Guy Lacombe’ Rennais will bring them with striking reach of the top of the table but he will be without Jérôme Leroy, Julián Estéban, Sylvain Marveaux and Asamoah Gyan.
