Lorient coach Le Birs finds success against Rennes ‘very exciting’

Régis Le Bris, coach of Lorient, gave his feelings after the 1-0 victory of his players against Rennes : “I am very happy. There were several things. Coming back to Rennes, a club that I really appreciate and where I spent many years, after ten years at Lorient… The chance of the calendar brought me back here to Rennes, to coach my first match and be able to win in a magnificent stadium, with our supporters who were very numerous, I am very happy. It’s very exciting. We defended really well the whole match, except for the first action. We were able to prevent the Rennais from picking up speed, it was done. We sometimes felt shy. But we had a good vibration on the defensive part. Inevitably, it gives an even stronger belief in what we are building. We must continue to believe. We were very serious, very disciplined, it’s great. Gradually, we will be able to be ambitious offensively “.
