Targeted by the Montpellier residents at the edge of the pitch, Bruno Genesio did not look like a good day when the final whistle blew. The content proposed by LOSC annoyed him, to the point that he highlighted a problem in his workforce.
The weeks follow one another and are sometimes similar, especially in the championship. Caught in the last minutes during the reception of Olympique Lyonnais, then in Nice, LOSC had the same experience this Sunday in Montpellier (2-2), although they were bottom in Ligue 1. This outcome brought to mind some very bad things memories to Bruno Genesio: “Yes, absolutelycoldly agreed the technician in front of the media. Apart from that, what we have to remember is our lack of quality with the ball in the second half. We have proposed far too few things to be more dangerous, to create more situations or to take shelter. We know very well that, in these kinds of matches, anything is possible until the end. Rather than getting into the fight, into the duel, as Montpellier forced us to do, we should have played with more technical mastery”he mentioned first. This is the first problem to be singled out in Hérault.
“When it’s repeated, it’s definitely not just a coincidence”
The context of the meeting, after a victory on the European scene, may be one of the factors to take into account in the copy rendered by the Mastiffs. The Lille technician nevertheless refuses to hide behind these artifices: “Match before or after the Champions League, we know that. Before, we tend to protect ourselves, to have the Champions League match in our heads. Afterwards, there is inevitably a bit of decompression, even more so when you play a poorly ranked team. But we knew it and that cannot be an excuse, whether for the result or for the quality of the match. The content also interests me and this evening (Sunday), we lacked too many things in the second half to put our opponent in difficultyinsists Bruno Genesio. The opposing team was sometimes, but we always gave them a way to get back on track. »
Despite this final being synonymous with defeat, or almost, the LOSC coach did not want to upset his men at the final whistle. However, he realizes that something is not right in his heads: “I don't like talking too much after matches, especially when they end that way because I know, from experience, that we can say stupid things in the heat of the moment rather than things that move us forward.he explains.
There was disappointment, inevitably regrets, but unfortunately, we can't go back. It’s up to us to find solutions to manage this problem. (the fact of conceding goals at the end of the match, editor’s note), because it is one. When it's repeated, it's three times in a short time (Lyon 1-1, Nice 2-2, Montpellier 2-2), it's definitely not just the result of chance.”says Bruno Genesio in a serious tone, ready to roll up his sleeves in the days to come.
