If Nice played this Thursday evening in the Europa League, Franck Haise carried out a fairly large squad review before receiving LOSC, in full swing but facing a possible decompression phenomenon from which Bruno Genesio hopes to protect himself.
LOSC in the decompression trap?
“How to avoid the phenomenon of decompression? This is the great difficulty. When you play the last match of a fairly exhausting series, there is always the danger of saying to yourself that it is the last match before the break, that we will have time to recover for those who will stay. Those who will be in the selection can have the matches in mind during this break. I reminded them this morning. In the final game that we played in training, a team relaxed a little and was caught after leading by a large margin. Football does not give gifts. Every day, we must move forward and question ourselves. The match that counts is the one that happens, not the one that has passed. »
Undefeated Franck Haise faces Bruno Genesio
“I don’t know if there’s a logical explanation. Let's hope that I defeat the Indian sign as we defeated it in the derby (Bruno Genesio had never won against Lens until now, editor's note). I don't know if it's linked to his teams, to the context. It was in Rennes that I faced him five times. There was always a lot of intensity, a lot of racing. This Lens was a team that regularly caused us problems. But to tell you the truth, I don't pay too much attention to all that. »
Two equally diminished teams
“I am proud of my players because they are doing a lot of good things at the moment. I really liked the way we managed our match against Juve. Ultimately, when you look closely at the match, we were put in very little danger. I don't think there is any fatigue. We are moving forward. When there are positive results, it is always easier. There is a dynamic that is established and we want to push our limits as far as possible. This time, we have an advantage since Nice played on Thursday. But I saw that Franck (Haise) had made quite a few changes at kick-off and during the match, I clearly understood what his priority was (smile). »
