Two days after the victory against OM in the Coupe de France (1-1, 3-4 tab) and on the eve of the match against OGC Nice, the LOSC coach, Bruno Genesio, was present this Thursday at a press conference.
While the controversy continues to swell concerning the presence of Mehdi Benatia and Olivier Létang on the sidelines at the end of the Coupe de France match between OM and LOSC (1-1, 3-4 tab), which earned an expulsion for the Marseille Football director but not for the president of the Dogues, Bruno Genesio was questioned this Thursday on this subject on the sidelines of his press conference before the reception of OGC Nice.
“I am not a specialist in the regulations, but it seems to me that 10 staff members are authorized to be on the bench, as well as 9 substitutes. The rules exist, you just have to apply them. To discuss it with friends who coach abroad, this does not exist in England. I said it in Lens a short time ago, we wonder what certain people are doing in the corridors, what function they have. Between the two sidelines, there was no animosity. There was tension, because the match meant that. We just have to apply the regulations,” replied the Lille coach, reminding Mehdi Benatia and Olivier Létang that their places were in the stands.
Genesio deplores five absentees and two uncertain for Nice
During his press briefing, Bruno Genesio also took stock of the forces present for the match against the Aiglons, announcing that Nabil Bentaleb, Samuel Umtiti, Tiago Santos, Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Ethan Mbappé, all injured, were out and that Gabriel Gudmundsson and Edon Zhegrova were uncertain.
-“We will take stock with Gabriel Gudmundsson this afternoon to see if he is able to join the group. He was given a crutch. He was much better yesterday (Wednesday), so we'll see. We may have the return of Edon Zhegrova. We must also take stock this afternoon regarding him. It's progressing, he's getting better, but we still have to see how he feels and if he can be in the group to, in particular, come in at the end of the match to be able to help us. It has to be 100%. »
