Lovro Majer: Rennes has found a master to play
Already excellent during the Rennes demonstration against Lyon, the Croatian rookie did it again this Saturday evening against Montpellier. The former Dinamo Zagreb player impressed with his activity. Always on the move, it has constantly offered solutions to its partners and has done a lot of harm to the people of Montpellier by its positioning between the lines. In the 28th minute, it was he who made the break in favor of his family by scoring a good volley from the right against Jonas Omlin. Very fine technically, it allowed Rennes to keep the leather during weak times. Leaving Rohazon Park to the ovation after having traveled 11.5 km on the meadow, Lovro Majer has definitely all the right things on the Breton side.
Adrien Truffert,what an activity!
Excellent match for the Rennes left side this Saturday evening. The international hopes did not count his efforts along his corridor. The one who celebrated his 20th birthday this November 20 did not hesitate to project himself forward and to accompany the Breton offensives. He even obtained a few goal situations by demonstrating a certain technical ease that we did not know him. In the first half he made a superb number to get into a striking position (13th) then he was very close to adding a third goal in the second half with a right foot strike after a dribble on Sambia. Precise, he managed nearly 93% of his passes this Saturday night.
Flavien Tait made his opponents dance
Very good since the arrival of Bruno Genesio on the Rennes bench, Flavien Tait performed at the highest level this Saturday.
He is involved in the second Breton goal thanks to his center feint which completely put his opponent in the wind.
Very clean technically, he succeeded 89% of his transmissions and was very available in the midfield.
Very efficient in pressing, he was the source of a big Rennes opportunity in the 53rd minute with this shot on Bourigeaud's post.
Another successful match for the former Angevin who asserts himself more and more as one of the sure values of our Ligue 1.
FLOPS
Téji Savanier: the artist did not shine
Excellent this season, Téji Savanier completely missed out on his match this Saturday in Rennes. Excluded just before half-time, he heavily penalized his team already badly embarked on the lawn of Rohazon Park. From the 3rd minute of play, he received an avoidable yellow card by putting a ball back into play on a corner that Rennes had played quickly. During the short time he spent in the field, he was never found in the intervals by his partners. Usually very precise, Savanier only succeeded 60% of his transmissions this Saturday and failed to influence this match. A meeting to forget for the native of Montpellier.
Junior Sambia, overwhelmed
If the Montpellier defense suffered in its entirety this Saturday, Junior Sambia spent a particularly difficult evening on the Rennes lawn. The defender has a significant share of responsibility for the two goals conceded by his team. On the opening scoring, he was beaten in impact and vivacity by Martin Terrier. 20 minutes later, he threw himself into the feet of Flavien Tait who only had to feign the center to easily get rid of the Hérault right side. In the second half, the Rennes game leaned heavily on its side and Adrien Truffert had no trouble getting rid of him to try his luck in the 75th minute. A non-match for the right-back of the MHSC.
Valère Germain, ghostly
In his defense, he could not really stand out given the very low position on the ground of the entire Montpellier block.
But during the rare sequences where his partners held the ball, he failed to be sufficiently available.
His personal statistics are starving since he only touched 15 balls in all and for all without shooting once on goal.
Logically released at half-time by his coach, he did not pose the slightest threat to the Rennes rearguard.
