Fully satisfied with the result obtained this Friday by LOSC, winner of OGC Nice (2-1), Bruno Genesio took a long step back in his analysis at the whistle, explaining concretely the dynamics of the game.
Third place goes to Lille, regrets to Nice. After a poor first period, during which Nice had missed its chance, the Mastiffs showed their fangs, taking more risks in the construction of their game. This is how they completely reversed the trend, going from trailing to winner (2-1) thanks to the achievements scored by Hakon Haraldsson (48′) and Bafodé Diakité (63′). At the final whistle, Bruno Genesio seemed calm, serene, as if he had planned such a scenario in advance.
“When we are not part of the group, it is difficult to realize what we have been doing for several months”
“We had difficulty getting into the gamerecognized the technician upon his arrival at the press conference. We lacked aggression. We left a lot of second ball to this Nice team and we lacked verticality when we had the ball.
Without Lucas Chevalier, I think the match could have been over at halftime because they still had five very, very clear chances to lead by at least two goals. And then, at halftime, we corrected all that. We got back into positive thingshe began. I shook them a little at half-time, while remaining understanding. Things had to be said. There was a lot of encouragement and positivity. I told them that the more the match progressed, the better we would be. And that we were still alive, a bit of a miracle of course, but that we were going to make the most of it. When you're not part of the group, it's difficult to realize what you've been doing for several months. It's really huge. You have to continue and not stop in progress. I want to congratulate this extraordinary group of resources. »
Lille are then well helped by their start to the second half: “At the start of the half, the equalizer gave us a lot of strength. We also have, in this team, leaders and leaders who allow us to find unsuspected resources and quality, because it is also necessary to do what we did in the second half during which we, for once, largely dominatedcontinues the technician at a press conference, who cited Jonathan David and Benjamin André on the air of DAZN. Jonathan David? He was already decisive against Marseille, he is again this evening (Friday). Apart from that, there is all the less visible work of calling races, replacements, pressing…
We must also highlight the character of our captain (Benjamin André) who brings a lot of energy”,
he emphasized.
Tolerance
Listening and encouragement is the secret of the Lille awakening: “Sometimes I can be a little harsh like in Auxerre, but sometimes you also have to be tolerant. You also have to know how to understand things. I saw that my team was trying but lacked mental freshness. When you are missing a little meter, technical concentration errors, it is often linked to a concentration problem and I know that in the sequence of matches, we lose a lot of mental strength. This was necessarily the case after Marseille, given the emotions experienced. I didn't expect to see my team make a thunderous debut, even if I didn't expect us to suffer so much, but I was convinced that it was going to do it, convinced that the more the match would progress , the better we were going to feel. […] We put a lot more commitment, forward play, rhythm with the ball, and that changed the appearance of this meeting”congratulated Bruno Genesio, a happy man after the victory of LOSC (2-1) over OGC Nice this Friday.
