A defeat and breakage
On February 21, 2016, 2 months after his arrival on the Lyon bench, Bruno Genesio faced a Lille team in good form as they remained in a draw against the reigning French champion, Paris Saint Germain. Lacazette and Lopes’ team hope to continue their momentum after a big 4-1 victory against Caen. But the Gones will very logically lose with a score of 1-0 for a first against Lille for the French coach. The highlight of this match is that OL finished the match 9 against 11 after the exclusions of Christophe Jallet and Clément Grenier.
LILLE – LYON: 1-0. Goal: S. Boufal (28th). Red cards to Lyonnais C. Grenier 87th; C. Jallet 60th.
On the right track
After winning 2 matches in Ligue 1 against Toulouse and Bastia, Lyon continued its rise in the standings on November 18, 2016. Genesio’s men won by a short 1-0. But in the game, the Genesio paste is starting to be felt. The Lyonnais regained offensive fluidity with more than 10 shots only in the first period.
LILLE – LYON: 0-1. Goal: M. Cornet 3rd. Red card to Lille player Y. Sankharé (55th).
Genesio’s pet peeve in 2017
Irresistible in the championship, brilliant on the European scene and undefeated for 8 matches, Lyon calmly approaches its match on November 29, 2017 against a Lille team in difficulty (penultimate in the championship). But the players coached by Joao Sacramento managed to surprise one of the strongest teams in the championship. Les Gones will remain with 2 defeats in the last two confrontations in the league after that of January 2017.
LYON – LILLE: 1-2. Goals: A. Lacazette 86th sp for Lyon; Y. Benzia 38th, 80th for Lille
One point and that’s it!
Genesio’s team is walking on water in 2018, notably winning prestigious successes such as against Manchester City and finishing 3rd in the championship behind Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain. But against Lille in 2018 and 2019, Les Gones cannot do it. They remain in 3 draws in a row with a score of 2-2 each time. The match to remember for the French coach remains that of December 1, 2018. Led against the run of play at half-time (2-0), Bruno Genesio finds the resources to motivate his team. And half an hour after returning from the locker room, the Lyonnais made up for their deficit thanks to goals from Bertrand Traoré and Moussa Dembelé. The Rhone residents could even win since Depay had missed his penalty.
LYON – LILLE: 1-2. Goals: Mariano 36th for Lyon; T. Mendes 21st and E. Ponce 40th for Lille.
If facing the Lille team for “Pep” Genesio was not synonymous with success, the meeting this Friday evening could prove important to reverse the trend and maintain the status of contender for places in the Champions League for LOSC .
