In the front row to analyze the bankruptcy of his team at the end of the match in Montpellier (2-2), Bruno Genesio now wants to tackle the problem at the root. The next few weeks are likely to be busy for LOSC.
“It’s up to us to find solutions to manage this problem (the fact of conceding goals at the end of the match, editor’s note), because it is one”pointed out Bruno Genesio at the final whistle, following the draw conceded by LOSC in Montpellier (2-2) and a goal scored by Arnaud Nordin in stoppage time (90+4'). The Lille technician is ready to tackle the problem. The latter was repeated too much, as was already the case during last season:
“When I analyzed the team last year, there were already these kinds of problems in a few matcheshe admits. I think that mentally, we have to be able to switch. Not playing to avoid conceding goals, but playing our game to the end. Keeping the ball in high areas, causing fouls… And not getting into a fight like it was in the second half in returning balloons and giving ammunition to the adversary »he still got annoyed.
“I think we have to grow uprecognizes the Lille coach who still records, with LOSC, a thirteenth match in a row without defeat in all competitions. During matches that are not the easiest to play, we have to do much better in our game and in what we know how to do to avoid these inconveniences at the end of the match.
We will have to learn the right lessons from this match. Understand why we stopped playing in the second half to play hurrah football, which is not our game. Understand why we are not capable of winning a match when we are a little less good »insists Bruno Genesio at a press conference.
Like Lucas Chevalier, the technician of Italian origins wants to aim as high as possible, in the Champions League as in the championship, and it is not that way, letting points slip away at the end of the game against opponents weaker on paper, that it will be possible to achieve these ambitions:
“Winning these kinds of matches while being less good is what allows you to play at the top of the table. We know very well that we cannot control everything, all the time, in all matches.
But you have to know how to win these matches when the quality is not there. This is the prerogative of great teams”concluded Bruno Genesio, leaving, without a smile, then quickly leaving the bowels of the Stade de la Mosson.
