Despite a victory at Angers (0-2), Bruno Genesio had a mixed face at the press conference. Satisfied with success, he was upset by the recurring mistakes made by his team, which did not progress fast enough. A defeat can be encouraging, just as a victory may not be glorifying. This Sunday in Angers, the LOSC won a precious victory (0-2), but Bruno Genesio was not particularly satisfied.
The Lille technician expressed his dissatisfaction with the loss of bullets in the dangerous area (4’, 15’) and the cartons received by Bafodé Diakité (18’, 67’). According to him, these errors indicate a lack of maturity. The hardest thing that’s been accomplished today is winning? We did the job. It was important to win, which is never easy against a team fighting to stay in League 1. I think we did it pretty well, even though I regret certain moments of the game when we were too mature to play.
It will be important to score more goals before the end of the season. Maybe we could regret it. This is the only flat on the tech-tactical analysis of this game. Then there is the expulsion of Bafo’ (Diakité) and the injury of Ethan (Mbappé) who tarnish this victory a little.
Is this an axis of progression for you and your players? Of course, it is an axis of progression. What’s bothering me is that this was already the case last week against Auxerre. We need to learn a lot faster. I find that we do not learn fast enough in this area, just as we do not learn fast enough to realize our very big opportunities.
I know it’s hard to score goals, but we have opportunities on which to play better. In both surfaces, we must progress. This is probably due to a lack of maturity, a far too much player mind. Sometimes it’s good, because I’m asking my team to play, to get out of the back with bullet exits, but you also have to be able, when you feel that it can be a little tense, not to make defi-passes that make the opponent want to come and rush you and put you in danger. That’s what we did at the beginning of the game. It could have cost us a lot if Lucas (Chevalier) had not been very attentive.
If we had to run after the score, nobody can tell me she would have been the end of this game. The angeline tactics, with wingmen coming inside, did you have any problems? We had a little bit anticipated and, on the contrary, I would say that it allowed us to find solutions on the sides, either through our sides or with our eccentric ones. Many
