Toulouse – Stade Rennais / Beye: “It’s been two games that we make it a little less in the state of mind”
After the defeat of his team in Toulouse, Habib Beye had strong words at Dazn’s microphone.
First failed half-time: I think we did not play, we did not put any intensity, aggressiveness, we were exceeded in all duels. And when you have this type of half-time you can’t expect anything. We came back with better intentions and that changed our team’s match. But unfortunately it was not enough because even if the goal we take, on an air duel we lack aggressiveness and we are punished. Today we cannot hope better, I had already said it in Lyon, this is still the case this evening.
Return of the locker room: From the start of the second half, we showed more aggressiveness, not necessarily with the contribution of the start-ups. The backwards brought something is a certainty. I just hope that my players will understand that they must be as invested as this staff who works on a daily basis to put them where they are today. We are in a team that is no longer afraid and which unfortunately no longer gives the enthusiasm and the state of mind that it takes to finish a Ligue 1 properly. What we have shown today is not worthy of Stade Rennais.
Lack of investment: No, it’s just that we’re no longer afraid. We are in Ligue 1, when we arrived we were 16th, everyone was shaking at the club. And we managed to win matches all together with this group, thanks to these players there. From the moment that fear left, when this fire we needed to put the club where it was to be, we do a little less. It’s been two games that we have a little less in the state of mind, and when you are in Ligue 1, you are punished.
Nice and Marseille: It should not be forgotten that it is a season that is traumatic for many players at the club, even if we have had great arrivals at the transfer window. What is certain, I repeat, it will be hard words, but I would like players understand that their investment must be total, as the staff does now. Because what I saw today is not worthy of Stade Rennais, over the first period. There was a reaction, but it was not sufficient. And when we were afraid, we were much more invested in our meetings than we are at the moment.
