Big bloodshed in Lille, where Bruno Genesio railed against the calendar, threatening to send a B team to compete in the Champions League against Atlético de Madrid.
After a week of rest without the Champions League, LOSC is preparing to return to its daily bread. But on the sidelines of the press conference preceding this Saturday’s match in Le Havre, Bruno Genesio made things clear regarding his team’s future schedule. Indeed, the LFP has scheduled the matches for the month of October and the Mastiffs coach has decided to show his fangs. In a month, after the international break, there will be a delicate sequence with the match in Monaco on Friday October 18, that on the field of Atlético de Madrid on Wednesday October 23 in the evening, and the clash against Lens at its neighbor of the North, Saturday October 26. Friday, Wednesday and Saturday, some clubs have already done it but that is no reason for Bruno Genesio, who became terribly angry when he saw the schedule that awaits his team.
Footballers are well paid, so what?!
“ I find that there is irresponsibility. I know I’m not going to make just friends, because I know the clichés about us. Yes, we are well paid and we do an extraordinary job, but that’s not why we don’t have the right to say certain things inherent to each job. Playing in Monaco, Madrid and Lens on Saturday, for me, it’s just scandalous », Launched the LOSC coach, who was told that the Classic between PSG and OM was on the Sunday evening bill. “ People will tell me that there is the Classico and the OGC Nice match which plays on Thursday, but when we make a calendar, we know that there are these three matches. Instead of putting them on the 9th day, we can dispatch them”denounced Bruno Genesio, who however forgets that the general calendar was given in July, when no one could know if Lille was going to compete in the Champions League.
As a result, the former coach of Stade Rennais and Olympique Lyonnais went to the end of his reasoning, suggesting through bitterness that he was capable of skipping the Champions League match on the Atlético de Madrid pitch. “ Now that it’s done, we’ll have to adapt. We will go to Madrid with a reserve team to preserve ourselves for the Derby. I will then be criticized for not playing the Champions League to the fullest. », anticipated Bruno Genesio who knows perfectly well that he is not going to make only friends with this kind of declarations.
