…OPPONENT

I don't know if Toulouse doesn't have much left to play for... It's such a tight championship... If they come and win this weekend, they will get closer to us! It’s a European team, we must not forget that. They had a very good run in the Europa League. Then, in the second part of the season, the TFC beat big clubs like Lille, Nice, Monaco in Monaco. Their dynamic in the second half of the season is very good. They changed the system, they changed the organisation. They are hard to move. It will be a team which will certainly come to press us on our ball exits and which will reposition itself very quickly.

…YANN GHOBO

When you are a trainer, you follow the evolution of these players. I launched it very early in the championship, in the Champions League. Afterwards, he may have had a form of impatience. He took another path, in another championship. It has asserted itself over time. He has certainly matured. I follow his journey, I see what he has been doing since his arrival in Toulouse. He had an impact on his team's results thanks to his dynamism, his dribbling and his ability to eliminate. You will have to watch out for him. I will see him again with pleasure, but we will not give him a present.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

One of our big challenges in Rennes is managing frustration when we don't win and we don't score. We give players incentives to improve, especially before facing a team like Toulouse. They are compact in their camp, at 5-4-1. It is a dense block, difficult to move, efficient in transitions and on set pieces. They have weapons, it won't be an easy match.
