Since January 1, the winter transfer window has been in full swing. It will also come to an end in around ten days. The opportunity for Bruno Genesio to take stock.
Engaged in a mercantile period, not the most popular, LOSC took the opportunity to part ways with three elements who, together, had accumulated 70 minutes of play in all competitions. These are obviously Rafael Fernandes, loaned with an option to buy to Rangers, Akim Zedadka, released in Poland, and Ousmane Touré, loaned to Valenciennes. The latter, within different transactions, thus left in search of playing time, far from the Domaine de Luchin.
In the other direction, nothing concrete has yet been made official among the Mastiffs. Leader of this troop, Bruno Genesio was questioned about the transfer window this Friday, at a press conference. It must be said that this transfer window closes in around ten days and that, on the Auxerre side two weeks ago, the technician had indicated that “decisions had to be made one way or the other” on the mercantile scene.
What should you expect?
“The transfer window evolves almost day after day,
or even from hour to hour the closer its closing approaches and the more agitated things become, thus begins the LOSC coach in front of the media. We are always alert, always thinking to know what we can improve, how we can improve it and in what position we can improve our workforce while maintaining the balance of the group.he mentions, a point on which he intends to insist. A squad is fragile, we see it in some big teams, and we are lucky to have a group with a superb state of mind who does great things together. It’s important to take all of this into account in our thinking”explains Bruno Genesio.
If there are arrivals, they will be late, which is not ideal for integrating a player into a group: “It’s certain that we, the coaches, would like to have more time.
Here, what puts us in difficulty are the injuries to Edon (Zhegrova) and Matias (Fernandez-Pardo)who are in two off-center positions, important players, capable of making differences, recalls Bruno Genesio. Losing both over the same fairly long period, combined with the return of Ethan (Mbappé) who missed three and a half months and who needs to return to competition because we can't launch him overnight… Everything That means we have to put Mitch' (Bakker) on the right. »
He continues and concludes on this theme:
“I am lucky to have players who are good, who adapt and have no qualms. To take Mitch's example, he could ask himself questions, but he doesn't ask himself any and, what's more, he plays good matches. It is thanks to the group that players who are not used to playing in certain positions can flourish through the collective. concludes Bruno Genesio on the eve of a trip which promises to be arduous to Strasbourg (01/25, 7 p.m.) as part of the 19th day of Ligue 1.
