Winner of OGC Nice (2-1), LOSC took advantage of AS Monaco's disappointment to climb onto the podium. Good news received with nuance.
It's the great operation of the weekend, even though it's not even over yet. LOSC, managing to surpass OGC Nice, jumped two places and went from fifth to third position, the last on the podium. This objective had continually eluded the Mastiffs and “it’s a relief” to finally reach it, admitted Bafodé Diakité in the mixed zone at the final whistle.
“Most of the time, every time Monaco lost, we either drew or lost too.he admitted. It’s nice to finally seize the opportunity. And then, it puts a blow on our competitors.
They say to themselves that we have finally moved ahead. Now, we will give everything to stay in this place and continue our series. »
From relief to anecdotal
For his part, Bruno Genesio was much less expressive:
“It’s anecdotal”he said at a press conference at the final whistle. Everything still remains to be done in his eyes: “We have just played the eighteenth day of the championship. There are still 16 left. It's very close and there are some great teams who are fighting with usincluding Nice which showed a lot of good things. The most important thing is to be on the podium at the end of the 34e day, not before »he wanted to point out.
This is something else that particularly caught his attention:
“On the other hand, what was important was to return to victory after several consecutive draws, against Nantes and Auxerre, which were a little annoying. The most important thing is to accumulate as many points as possible. It was also important to beat a direct competitor who had overtaken us on the last day. And also for the dynamics. Even if we have been undefeated for 21 games, returning to victory in the championship, we needed that”insisted Bruno Genesio.
