Jed Spence led the team to victory with a good performance.
Stade Rennes recorded a 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the 28th round of the French Ligue 1 in the 2022-23 season held at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France at 1:05 am (Korean time) on the 20th. With this, Stade Rennes recorded 50 points and moved up to 5th place in the league.
It was a fight with a difference in weight class. PSG Suquard was missing many key players, including Neymar and Achraf Hakimi, but brought the best lineup centered on Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
As expected, the match was dominated by PSG. According to the soccer statistics media ‘Who Scored’, it recorded a possession rate of close to 60% and tried 17 shots in 90 minutes to put pressure on Stade Rennes.
But the victory belonged to Stade Ren. He used the back 5 to focus on defense, blocked the opponent’s attack, and produced effective counterattacks. In the 45th minute of the first half, Carl Toko Ecambi took the lead, and in the 3rd minute of the second half, Arnaud Kalimuendo added another goal to solidify the victory. Coach Bruno Genesio used four replacement cards in the second half to run a stable game and secure the victory.
Messi and Mbappe, who led the attack, were silent. The two players attempted a combined 10 shots, but failed to score a single goal. Mbappe showed the worst performance with a rating of 6.3 points.
The role of the defenders of Stade Rennes was great. Spence, who started as a right fullback, also showed a good look. In today’s game, he recorded 1 tackle and 2 clears, blocked PSG’s attack, and actively contributed to the attack with 1 shot and 93.8% pass success rate. ‘Whoscored’ also gave him a rating of 6.92 and gave him a decent evaluation.
The first half is completely different from the time I spent at Tottenham Hotspur. Spence, who entered Tottenham ahead of this season, received a lot of expectations, but he was pushed back by Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty, and he seldom got a chance. There were opinions from local fans to appoint him, but Conte completely ignored Spence. He recorded just 41 minutes of playing time during the first half for Tottenham. 바카라
Eventually, he left Tottenham during the winter transfer window. Stade Rennes reached out and entered France on loan. As much as he possesses outstanding skills, he immediately rose to prominence. Starting from the LOSC Lille match, he has been consistently showing good form. If Spence returns next season and manager Conte leaves the team, it seems that he will be able to establish his place in Tottenham well enough.
