Gerrard spoke about preseason work
"Preseason is about being fit, it's about being match fit and match ready, so we gave opportunities and playing time in the first half of preseason for everyone."
Rennes' withdrawal
Trained at the Red and Black Academy, Mathys Tel was transferred to Bayern Munich. A member of the 2005 generation, the striker, who was crowned European Under-17 champion last June, made 10 appearances for Rennes as a professional player.
Rennes' reactions to their new reinforcements
"Our priority was to sign a quality central defender, so we are very happy to welcome Arthur. He is an international we have been following for a long time and we are convinced that he will prove his qualities quickly, as he did last season in the Italian championship."

Watch out for this Aston Villa player
Ollie Watkins, 26-year-old English striker, has established himself as the team's benchmark last season, he finished the season as the team's top scorer, the striker is one of the players who shoots the most shots on goal, his right foot is lethal so defenses will have to pay attention to this player.
Watch out for this Rennes player
Martin Terrier, the young Frenchman has stood out as Rennes' most productive attacker, with more than 35 games played last season the player has been able to score on more than 20 occasions, his good performances have led him to be an undisputed starter and his eye for goal makes him the player to follow.

Rennes to prove it can compete for the top places
The previous season of Rennes was full of surprises, the team was somewhat irregular in the campaign, because it accumulated 12 defeats in the French league, however that was not an impediment to make a great campaign as they were five points behind the second place occupied by Marseille, Rennes also got a ticket to participate in a European competition in this case the Europa League, no doubt what awaits the team will be an attractive and very busy season, but if the team is intelligently reinforced they could be competitive all season, Aston Villa will be a great rival to measure where they stand.
The start of the season is approaching
The 2022-23 season is about to start, practically a week separates the teams in preseason from the beginning, this time we will see a duel between Rennes vs Aston Villa, although at the table level the teams were in completely different circumstances last season, now they will be measured in a friendly duel, to be close to the start the teams should already be at an optimal level so we expect a great duel with very experienced and high quality players on the field.
