“We deserved to take the three points,” complains Bruno Genesio

“Caught by the patrol” at the last second of a meeting that his team was leading in Nice (2-2), the Lille coach, Bruno Genesio, asked his team to “remember this match well”. While his team has already been caught in Lyon in added time this season, Bruno Genesio felt that, this time, it was “more annoying”.

“We deserved to take the three pointshe assured. Especially since we shoot three times at the posts in addition to having a very good match. This evening (Sunday) it’s not the ranking that matters to me (Lille is 4th, editor’s note) but the number of points (19 points).” Genesio didn't appreciate Angel Gomes' last foul, which led to the free kick for Nice's equalizer. “There was no reason to concede,” he cursed. It was unexpected for them to have one last cartridge like that, even if then we don't have to concede the goal.

From now on, “we will have to grow up and be very attentive in this kind of situation”he continued. “But when you don’t do enough things to win, you get caught by the patrol.” “Maybe what’s happening to us is deserved,” he concluded. This match will have to be remembered well. There was a way to do much better. We were 98% good, we are missing 2% to take three points.
