The two men will probably not go on vacation together.

This Wednesday, Stade Rennais coach Julien Stéphan had very harsh words towards Pierre Ménès.

Known for his salient statements, the Canal + consultant spoke about the case of Mbaye Niang, regretting that Julien Stéphan "is not screwed to take him to Benfica".

The explanation for this absence for the friendly match on Saturday (2-0 defeat) was given by his coach on Wednesday on the sidelines of Serhou Guirassy's presentation.

“If he did not come, it is because Mbaye did not show up for training the day before the start in Lisbon.

It's easily verifiable, ”said Julien Stéphan.

“The duty of information is fundamental.

May when there are feelings people who mingle, it becomes manipulation ”, launched the coach, quite annoyed.

Announced on the departure for several months, the Senegalese striker did not take part in the friendly match.

In Montpellier, he had not come into play, unlike the newcomer Serhou Guirassy.

“I had my reasons for behavior.

But he started for our first match in Lille.

What other mark of confidence can I give her?

I have always shown Mbaye that it was an option ahead, ”adds Julien Stéphan.

Menés who still criticize Julien Stéphan but why?

He still has the right to make his choices!

According to him Rennes should give Niang to OM ... he has a serious problem ... #mercatosrfc #srfc
