On November 6, Beijing time, in the fourth round of the Champions League stage, Lille will play against Juventus. Before the game, Lille coach Genesio attended the press conference.
Talking about the line-up
Genesio: "Ethan Mbappe is still unavailable. Cabella has not yet recovered. Ousmane Toure and Meunier were injured against Lyon. Ismaily has not recovered and will not be included in the squad. Tiago Santos, Umtiti and Bentaleb are out for a long time. Haakon Haraldsson will also not be able to play, while Andre Gomez will not be eligible for the Champions League. ”
Talking about fighting a strong enemy again
Genesio: "We have already done two miracles. We must be able to reproduce the glory. We're going to do our best. We're at home and our fans will support us. We picked up six points against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the two strongest teams in the group. This brings confidence. That doesn't mean everything will go smoothly, but it does bring confidence. Beating a team like that means we have the ability to repeat our success. Do other teams have more respect for Lille? I don't pay much attention to those. The teams definitely took us more seriously. As for the message we are messaging, I don't see much of a change. ”
Talking about Jonathan David's penalty ability
Genesio: "He practices almost the day before every game and most of the time there is no goalkeeper...... And most of the time it's missed. So I sometimes make fun of him. But his biggest strength is that he is very calm, which is an important quality for taking penalties. It's emotional management, not a technical action. Ignore all the possible consequences of a penalty kick or not. In this regard, he is unshakable. He did the same in the game. He is very confident. He could miss two great chances in a game, but that won't make him doubt a third. That's his forte. ”
When it comes to the lack of attention to French coaches in Ligue 1
Genesio: "As a champion of French coaches, yes. This does not mean that there are no good foreign coaches in the league. I think it's very French, and we value people from abroad more than French people. Take Roy, for example. Did we hear a lot about him? He has done extraordinary things in the Champions League and Ligue 1. But we didn't talk a lot about him. ”
