The fifth day of the Champions League has come to an end and LOSC is a good student in the barometer of French clubs produced by Pierre-Étienne Minonzio, journalist at The Team.
Three defeats against one success, the record of French clubs was not the most brilliant in the Champions League this week. Paris Saint-Germain, defeated by Bayern Munich (1-0) in Bavaria, and Stade Brestois, logically surpassed by FC Barcelona (3-0) in Spain, had already started badly. The next day, AS Monaco fell on a bone during the reception of Benfica Lisbon (2-3) and left France to pin all its hopes on LOSC, wandering around Bologna. In a novice, the Mastiffs won (1-2) and represented the only clearing in recent days in the most prestigious of European competitions.
This is how LOSC figures very well in the barometer produced by Pierre-Étienne Minonzio this Thursday. The latter particularly highlights the good choices made by Bruno Genesio, technician from Lille: “Lille's victory in Bologna confirmed that, unlike Luis Enrique, Bruno Genesio had everything just in this Champions Leaguebegins the journalist from The Team. We know that during big European matches, he always takes risks, makes choices that are a little surprising, but often pay off. This was again the case yesterday in Bologna with Ngal'ayel Mukau (20 years old), much higher than usual on the pitch, just behind Jonathan David. The Congolese, who had never scored professionally, scored twice. »
His final tirade fits with recent statements from Lille, those highlighting emerging ambitions in the North: “As long as Genesio shows as much foresight in his choices, Lille will be able to dream of a radiant European future”he concludes.
