Habib Beye
Update on the squad
"The squad is complete with the exception of Alidu Seidu, who is injured, and Christopher Wooh, who will be suspended for the match. Ismaël Koné, who is on loan from Marseille, will be able to play.
What's at stake in the game against Marseille
"OM will be looking to defend their second place in the table. For our part, we need to keep winning games and show that we can hold our own against the big boys in this league. It promises to be an exciting encounter.
The choice of tactics for the match against Nice
"We want to impose our game, whoever our opponents are. The hybrid system we put in place against Nice allows us to adapt defensively, while at the same time being able to offer something through our positioning and our dynamic play. We're fortunate to have players who can adapt to different positions, like Jérémy Jacquet, who did very well on his flank against Nice.
« Be prepared to deal with very high levels of intensity »
The last week of training
"It's not a week like any other. When we arrived at the club, we created a strong bond with the group, through difficulty and success. Naturally, when you come to the end of a season, there are a lot of mixed emotions. That said, that's the life of a football club. The most important thing is to enjoy ourselves as much as possible on and off the pitch.
The opposition
"Marseille have been performing well all season. They're a team that scores a lot of goals and can play with a lot of intensity, especially in their stadium. We're going to have to be ready for that. They deserve to be runners-up and they're going to have to defend that right to the end. It's up to us to be a disruptive force for 95 minutes.
His return to the Velodrome
"There will be a special emotion because it's a club that marked me as a player. But that's not what's at stake in this match. My objective is to win at this stadium with Stade Rennais.
Adrien Truffert
The end of a long season
"We've been through a lot of emotions and it can seem like it's been a long season. It's true that when I think back to the Olympics, it feels like an eternity ago. But that's also part of football. There's still the game against Marseille and we want to play a big game to confirm what we did well against Nice.
The desire to win this match
"We all love playing football, so I haven't felt any slacking off in training this week. We've got a top match to play against a big team. When you're competitive, it's the kind of match you want to play and win. Everyone is ready for Saturday.
Better momentum in recent months
"The first half of the season was very complicated. We've managed to bounce back and show some good things. This weekend, we're going to do everything we can to win this final match and confirm our progress as a team.
« The coach has given me a lot to learn from thanks to his experience »
The atmosphere at the Velodrome
"In Marseille, these are always complicated matches. There's a great atmosphere. They're playing for second place, so there's going to be a lot of desire. It's really the kind of opposition we like to face as players, and an opportunity to show what we're capable of as a team.
Habib Beye's contribution to his personal development
"We have a very good relationship with the coach, and he's taught me a lot. We talk all the time. He's also helped me a lot with his experience, as he was a full-back himself. He's very positive and tries to make us feel as confident as possible. All the coaches I've had here have helped me progress, each in their own way.
