After Lille’s draw at Auxerre (0-0) at the opening of the 17th day of Ligue 1, Bruno Genesio did not spare his players, some of whom cruelly lacked motivation according to the Lille technician.
Bruno Genesio does not leave satisfied with his trip to Burgundy. At eleven against ten at the hour of play, Lille was only able to obtain a draw result (0-0) at Auxerre on Friday during the 17th day of Ligue 1, a disappointing result and yet another missed opportunity for Lille to reach the podium. Faced with a well-established Auxerre block, the Mastiffs came up against a wall named Théo De Percin, author of a penalty save in front of Jonathan David.
Beyond the unsatisfactory result, Bruno Genesio had a clear message to send to his players, some of whom may have their minds elsewhere in the middle of the transfer window. “We are also in a special period in this month of January. I will be clear: those who want to play for LOSC, let them say it clearly. If they do not want to or want enough, they must also that they say it so that we can adjust with the president”, launched the Lille technician at a press conference. “I don’t feel that in practice. I feel a little difference in the spirit of his group. It teases me. I’m not going to give you a name, I’m not completely crazy.”

“When we don’t do 100%, we can’t win in Ligue 1. Auxerre deserved to take a point tonight,” Genesio confirmed at a press conference. Before going to challenge Marseille, Tuesday in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Lille remains on three draws in a row in the league after having shared the points against Nantes (1-1), on January 4, and against Marseille, just before the break (1-1). The Mastiffs thus did not take advantage of the performance of Monaco, hanging on to Nantes (2-2), to come back on the Monegasques in 3rd place and on the contrary they remain under the threat of Lyon, fifth a length away, to secure their 4th place in the ranking.
