Stade Rennais welcomes AC Milan in the round of 16 second leg of the Europa League, this Thursday (6:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
Rennes is up against the wall. After a big 0-3 setback at San Siro a week ago, the Breton club is condemned to achieve an authentic feat to overcome the obstacle of AC Milan this Thursday evening. “ The question is how we go about packing the matchexplained Julien Stéphan. How we all create the conditions together to try to have a part of the irrational in this match. Since we won’t be able to play an ordinary match anyway if we want to create these conditions. It’s more of this reflection that we have been carrying out with the players since yesterday (Tuesday) and that we will continue today and tomorrow”.
The technician approaches this second round with enthusiasm and ambition. “ We will have to get off to a winning start and score first to bring the stadium and the public a little closer with us. We will take care of ourselves, our match. To build our story on this match. We know that we will have a strong opposition, experienced as well. We will be taken care of. You have to think outside the box, and then go into a form of madness. If in this match we have something very conventional, very calculated, we will not succeed, they will be stronger than us. If we take it on another path, maybe we can create something, in any case, a different atmosphere, that will be the goal. All the planets need to be aligned. »The plan is clear.
