Stade Rennais: Jota takes time to get back to the field
After the transfer period has been closed, the Stade Rennais brings big changes in its squad. One player particularly stands out among the new obligations: Jota. The striker, who most recently played at Al-Ortihad, has awakened great expectations. But as Julien Stéphan, the coach of the club, reveals, it will take a while before Jota can shine on the pitch.
The Stade Rennais has had a difficult start to the season. In the first three games, the team had to accept two defeats. This balance is disappointing for the fans and the management of the club, especially in view of the significant changes in the squad. A total of 18 players left the club, while 12 new players were signed, which caused some unrest.
Jota needs time
In an interview after the game against Reims, Julien Stéphan expressed that Jota first had to undergo intensive physical preparation. "It will take time to get the physical level that is necessary," said the coach. This statement indicates that the player did not play regularly due to an injury -plagued last season and now has to work hard to get back into shape.
Stéphan further explained that Jota had hardly any missions between September and March and that the last few weeks of preparation did not be optimal. "He had almost no joint training sessions. So it will be our job to gradually rebuild it," said the coach. This responsible approach shows that the association takes the long -term development and integration of Jota Ernst.
The situation around the club and in particular about Jota is decisive to increase the competition level in Ligue 1. Ultimately, the obligation of a promising talent could be decisive if it were possible to integrate his skills into the team. Fans and experts intently observe how the situation develops and whether Jota has the potential to revitalize the offensive of Stade Rennais.
