Recently, the French media Footmercato talked about Rennes' locker room issues. They said that many players were skeptical of coach Habib Beyer's tactical instructions.
Although after seven rounds of the league, Rennes is only five points away from the top three in Ligue 1 and Marseille, but from a more detailed perspective, the gap between the club and the top three seems to be very huge.
Aside from the 10-man victory against Marseille at the beginning of the season and the controversial 3-2 victory over Lyon, the team led by Habib Beye did not give fans much confidence. To make matters worse, they have already played four teams who will be fighting for relegation and have drawn three consecutive games, against Nantes, Lens and Le Havre.
In addition to the result of the game, there is a strange atmosphere permeating the club, especially the locker room. Khabib Beye appears to be increasingly isolated, with players confused by his choices and decisions. This feeling was especially obvious after the game against Lens.
Lens played one less player in the first minute of the game due to Gradit being sent off, but in the end the two sides tied 0-0. In this game, Dijai Cisse was replaced in the 28th minute, which caused confusion among the players on the field and the entire locker room. The original intention of this substitution was to strengthen the offense, but it resulted in the team being suppressed by the opponent despite having a numerical advantage.
This substitution not only caused a rift between Dijai Cisse and the coach, but also affected other players. We understand that Netherlands international Hartbauer is unhappy with his coach's tactical indecision. The veteran defender believes tactical instructions are not clear enough and in some cases missing entirely. Likewise, captain Longhier also expressed confusion.
If Habib Beye continues to insist on the project in Rennes, the divisions in the dressing room will undoubtedly not help him turn things around. In the recent game against Le Havre, facing a team ranked at the bottom, Rennes fell behind by two goals in 30 minutes, fully exposing the team's current predicament and lack of a clear playing style. The next home game against Auxerre may be Baye's last chance to save the team.
