PSG v Rennes: Rongier makes Rennes’ Europa Conference League aim clear

This Saturday at 9:05 PM (broadcast on Ligue1+) Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Rennes (5th) at the Parc des Princes as part of the 15th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. In a press conference, Rennes midfielder Valentin Rongier (30 years old) spoke about his team's confidence, the desire to achieve something, and the keys to hoping for success.

Rongier "stand up to this team, which is one of the best in Europe."

Arriving with confidence at the Parc des Princes It's true that we feel good with this series of victories, confidence is at its peak. We will go to the Parc with a lot of ambition, with the desire to stand up to this team, which is one of the best in Europe. We will also show a lot of humility and seriousness to hope for a result. What strategy to bother PSG? Many teams are looking for it. We know that PSG deprives opponents of the ball. Parking the bus can be a tactic, other teams also try to play, but it's not easy to chase the ball. We will try to play with our qualities and impose our rhythm on them.

Rongier "We play football for this kind of match, it's an exciting challenge."

The Parisians surely seeking revenge after the defeat in Monaco That's their problem, not ours. Whatever the outcome of the match against Monaco, we would have gone there with the same intentions. It will be a complicated match but the previous result doesn't matter to us. A high-level Parisian midfield We know it's an ultra-performing midfield, maybe the best in Europe. It's a very good challenge for the whole team in general because there is quality in all positions. We play football for this kind of match, it's an exciting challenge. We will try to look them in the eye." said the player, as reported by the official Rennes club website.

The Rennes player is clear, there is no question of going to the Parc des Princes just to admire the opposing team, suffer, and allow them to bounce back. There is a real desire to play and take points. It's understandable, and even encouraging. There is no point in being afraid.

The best way to finish the match without regrets, and possibly to take at least 1 point, is to give everything with conviction. Rennes also has confidence accumulated thanks to a nice series of 4 victories. This also allows for some "leeway." A poor result would not be a disaster for the standings. There is no need to worry, just enjoy.

All while knowing, of course, that a match against PSG is never easy. The Parisians will also have the desire to react and not linger in 2nd place. Rongier doesn't want to worry about it, but there is indeed the risk of facing a particularly determined team. It remains to be as vigilant and united as possible to respond to the challenge in the best way.
