Bourigeaud (Rennes) after the draw against Fenerbahçe: “We are fools”

Benjamin Bourigeaud (Rennes midfielder, after the 3-3 draw against Fenerbahçe on Thursday in the Europa League, at the microphone of RMC Sport) “We played the game we needed, we had a perfect start to the game. We lead 3-0 away from home. We had a weak time at the end of the first period. Afterwards we tried to do the maximum but I think that at the end of the match, we have to manage better than that. Today it is a professional fault not to have won. We are fools because leading 3-0 away, we have to close the shop and today we conceded three goals. Frankly, we don’t have the right.

“We are demonstrating today that we still have to learn”

I don’t know what happened, we’re going to tell each other things right away. We lead 3-0, we play a perfect match, and then I don’t know what happens. We make too many touches, we try to dribble when at the end of the match we have to take zero risks, clear the ball and close the shop. We said we had learned, unfortunately today we are showing that we still have to learn. But at some point we will have to stop, ask ourselves the right questions and do what it takes to keep the score because we are not allowed to do what we did today at the end of the match.

(On the last match against Larnaca) There will be a final to be played at home and it will be up to us to do the work. We would have liked to do the job here but we ruined the party at the end of the game. But nothing is over. We are inevitably frustrated because we would have hoped for better, there were a lot of positives despite everything, but the feeling that dominates is necessarily disappointment and frustration because we were playing the right game and we ruined the party. »
