Press review: the Mayulu ‘problem’ and Rennes appeal to French Olympic body | OneFootball

This Wednesday, September 16, the French press (regarding the sporting side) discussed at Paris Saint-Germain the complicated situation of Senny Mayulu (20-year-old midfielder/forward), who extended his contract until 2031 but is currently playing very little. There is also Rennes, which has referred the case to the CNOSF (French National Olympic and Sports Committee) to challenge the reversal of the return leg against PSG.

As for Mayulu, the situation seems fairly simple. PSG is counting on him, especially for the future, but he is facing huge competition. So he needs to be in particularly good form in order to play. The academy product was not very convincing in the first matches, especially during the friendlies, and seems to have lost ground. He will have other opportunities, with patience and hard work. It is up to him not to give up in the face of difficulty, because there is no doubt that coach Luis Enrique will rely on him during the season.

As for Rennes, it is unfortunate to see another battle emerging in French football, which above all needs solidarity and efforts to move forward. The Breton club absolutely wants the return leg to also be at Roazhon Park, because it sold tickets at slightly reduced prices for a first leg that changed stadium five days before the match. It is understandable that this was not ideal, but the stadium was still full and perhaps the prices were poorly chosen.

In any case, that would mean Stade Rennais would have one extra home match, which raises a problem in terms of sporting fairness. Besides, it is easy to imagine the waves of protests from clubs and the media if PSG were leading such a fight. For now, there is nothing like that here.
