Bruno Genesio (Stade Rennes coach, after the 3-0 victory against Maccabi Haifa): “I am happy, outside of the game, with the attitude we had from start to finish. Everything we talked about since the Lille match we managed to put in place this evening (Thursday). We rediscovered certain virtues that we had lost a little bit in these last matches: the desire to press together, to go after the opponent, and above all not to relax, even at 2-0, at 3- 0. And then taking risks with the ball, with forward play.

We often start our seasons with European matches, because we need to raise the bar in all areas if we want to be competitive. We are going to close this parenthesis, but we must be able to offer the same thing very regularly in the championship too.
