Here they are again, ever more ambitious, and with deep pockets.
Rennes lost their defender Nayef Aguerd (West Ham) and their presumed offensive nugget Mathys Tel (Bayern), while simultaneously attracting the immense Steve Mandada (OM), centrals Arthur Theate (Bologna) and Joe Rodon (Tottenham), and still waiting for reinforcements in attack.
For this recovery, we are especially looking forward to seeing Terrier, Laborde, Doku, Souleymana, Bourrigeaud et cie, one of the most flamboyant armadas in Ligue 1 last year.
Opposite, Lorient advances in a much less sparkling way.
The main novelty is on the bench: Christophe Pélissier has ceded his position to Régis Le Bris.
A new force in the championship for three years, Stade Rennais is increasingly ambitious.
If the Champions League escaped him in the home stretch of the championship last season, the game played by Bruno Genesio's team was the most attractive in Ligue 1 (yes, yes).
The team remained almost unchanged: Aguerd was (very well) sold to West Ham, the Belgian international Arthur Theate will replace him in central defense.
Only one striker is missing to remedy the departure of the nugget Mathys Thel, recruited at a golden price by Bayern Munich.
Opposite, Lorient aims to avoid relegation this season.
And we will not bet our PEL on their ability to achieve this.
