As part of the eleventh day of Ligue 1 McDonald's, LOSC faces Franck Haise's OGC Nice, an opponent against whom Bruno Genesio has never won during his career.
It's been less than a month since the Mastiffs returned to competition. But in this short period of time, five prestigious matches have been played, in the championship as well as in the Champions League with AS Monaco, RC Lens and Juventus, the last opponent they faced. To continue its marathon, which will suddenly stop with the international break in November, LOSC is traveling to the Côte d'Azur, to Nice. This is a tricky match in the eyes of Bruno Genesio: “It’s the big difficulty because when we play the last match of a series which has been exhausting. There is always the danger of saying that it is the last match before the break, that we will have time to recover”begins Bruno Genesio.
“Those who go to the national team also have in mind the matches they will play during the international break. You have to be very vigilantinsists the Lille technician. I reminded them this morning, because in our little final game, there was a team which was well ahead in the score and which relaxed a little until being caught in the last sequence. Football does not give gifts. You have to question yourself every day. The most important match is always the one that is happening and not the one that has just taken place. »
“I don’t think there’s that much fatigue”
There are reasons to be wary, and that’s an understatement to say. During his career, Bruno Genesio never won against Franck Haise, who coached RC Lens at the time. In five confrontations, the Lille coach lost three times, against two draws: “I didn't know the statistics and I admit that I don't know if there is an explanation for all this. But it was with Lens, there is a link between the two. We hope to be able to make the pass of two and defeat the Indian sign as we were able to do in the Derbyhe laughs. I don't know if it's linked to his teams, to the context, I don't remember too much about these matches. There has always been a lot of intensity, of racing. It's a team that regularly caused us problems. But I don't pay too much attention to all that.”he reassures himself, far from being superstitious.
In addition to the numerical data, we will have to challenge fatigue this Sunday (3 p.m.) in Nice: “I'm proud of them, I've said it before, because they're doing a lot of good things at the moment. I really liked our management of the match against Juventus. In the end, we were in very little dangerjudge Bruno Genesio.
I don't think there's that much fatigue. We move forward and when there are positive results, it's easier. There is a dynamic that is established and we want to push it even more, as often as possible. This time, it's true that we have an advantage on this point, but I saw that Franck (Haise) had made a lot of changes before and during the match. I understood clearly what his priority was”finally declared the leader of the Mastiffs, with a very big smile.
