With thirteen goals conceded during their last three away matches in Ligue 1, Rennes are going through a dark period that raises concerns.
The crushing defeat suffered in Nice (5-2) highlighted concerning defensive flaws on the Stade Rennais side. Three days after this humiliation, the show 'Pleine Lucarne' looked into the reasons behind this collective shipwreck that worries supporters and observers of French football.
The assessment is alarming: over the course of three away matches, the Rennes defense has conceded thirteen goals. A statistic that places the team among the most porous in the championship this season. Individual errors are multiplying, but it's especially the collective organization that seems to falter under opposing pressure.
This losing streak raises questions about the team's mindset. How to explain such fragility when the club has experienced players and a quality squad? Analysts point to a lack of communication between the lines and an evident loss of confidence that feeds on itself with each match.
The next home match will be crucial. The players will need to demonstrate that they are capable of bouncing back and finding the defensive solidity essential to compete in Ligue 1. The group's reaction to this adversity may define the rest of their season.
