Two days before the major celebrations of LOSC's 80th anniversary, during which the club's glorious alumni will be honored, Bruno Genesio listed the former Lille residents who had the most impact on him. Players and coaches combined.
Eden Hazard alone in the world as a player
And Bruno Genesio has a very special match to prepare against an unpredictable Rennes, the party is also increasing little by little. Sunday, at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, the 80th anniversary of LOSC will be celebrated. With the program, in particular, around a hundred former glories of the club present on site. Arriving this summer, Bruno Genesio is not yet at this stage, despite his exploits in the Champions League. So he was questioned at a press conference with “ a difficult question » by his own admission: which LOSC personality had the most impact on you?
« For the player, the one that comes to me right away is Eden Hazardsays the current Lille coach, without much suspense. He was a fantastic player, who led the team that won the double (in 2010-2011). » If the Belgian is alone on the pedestal installed by Genesio concerning the Lille players, the technicians are more numerous. “ There are several teams that have left their mark on me in the history of LOSC, particularly in the recent past.he says. There is that of the double with Rudi (Garcia). There is the team of Christophe (Galtier)who was champion (in 2020-2021), and we know the feat that a champion title represents in front of Paris today. These are the two teams with Eden Hazard that I would cite as a priority. »
Without forgetting ” Claude Puelwho participated a lot in building the club, and in particular where we are today », namely the Domaine de Luchin, another jewel left behind by the native of Castres (2002-2008), and which undoubtedly also holds its share of responsibility for the titles of his two friends in 2011 and 2021.
