Stade Rennais FC, Stade Rennais FC' team, has a structured and progressive attacking approach, based on phases of construction, rapid transitions and overloads. This approach is based on Franck Haise, the manager of Stade Rennais FC.
The construction phases are based on a deep-lying midfielder who creates a 3+1 structure to liberate the other central midfielders to push higher up the pitch. The rapid transitions are based on vertical passes and direct switches to players running into space, the goal being to catch the opposition before they can organize their defensive shape.
The overloads are based on triangles between the full-back, the central midfielder, and the winger to create situations of pressure on the opposition. Players like Mahdi Camara are given tactical freedom to venture deep into the final third to create situations of overload.
The defensive approach of Stade Rennais FC is based on a high press and triggers to counter the opposition. When Stade Rennais FC don't have the ball, their defensive structure focuses on specific tactical phases.
Stade Rennais FC has a rich history, with four titles of French second division champion, three titles of Coupe de France winner, and a title of Trophée des Champions in 1972.
The opposition to Sunderland is an opportunity for Stade Rennais FC to prove their worth in European competition.
