The shepherd’s response to the shepherdess.
Two hours after Tottenham announced they were unable to compete Thursday night’s meeting against Rennes, the Breton club responded firmly in a press release, giving in passing its version of recent events.
“During a videoconference held at 7.45 p.m. between representatives of UEFA, Tottenham and SRFC, the Spurs director of football indicated her intention not to play the UEFA Europa Conference game Thursday night league. Unilateral decision which has not been confirmed by UEFA in any way ” , takes place at Stade Rennes.
Before continuing: “The representative of Tottenham did not want to announce the number of her players affected by the Covid while the rule states that a match must be played as long as the team has thirteen outfielders and a goalkeeper. She argued for a decision by the English authorities without advancing any official document. As the match was not officially canceled by UEFA, Stade Rennes FC upheld their decision to play. ”
[COMMUNIQUÉ OFFICIEL]Following the press release released by Tottenham at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Stade Rennes FC would like to clarify several facts.

A pungent response and a conclusion in which the Breton leaders say they reserve the right to seize UEFA in the face of this “London fog. This lack of fair play is all the more glaring as Tottenham had confirmed by email that the match would be held at the start of the afternoon before warning Rennes of their intention not to play just after their landing in London City. ”
Hop, the birth of a European rivalry for Stade Rennes. What if that was becoming a big club?
