The LOSC coach really thought he had lost Angel Gomes for good…
On Tuesday evening at 9pm, Lille will face Slavia Prague at the Pierre Mauroy stadium in the first leg of the Champions League play-off. Last week, the Dogues managed to knock out the Turks from Fenerbahçe in the third qualifying round.
On the eve of this deadline, Bruno Genesio appeared at a press conference. “We are very, very motivated. The big mistake would be to think that by beating Fener we are already qualified. Slavia will be just as difficult to beat. They are a team that imposes an interesting challenge in the duels and a full-court pressing. We have the weapons to get out of this kind of team.”said the coach of the northern club.
Genesio considers his players “like his children”
The 57-year-old technician also returned to the head-to-head collision suffered by Angel Gomes. “I was afraid of losing Angel and you don’t think about anything else at that moment. My players are like my children. It’s not an injury, it’s an attack that could have been much more serious. These are not emotions but they are things that you don’t want to see on a football field.”Genesio explained.
Last Saturday, early in the evening, Stade de Reims hosted Lille for the first day of Ligue 1. After a quarter of an hour of play, Angel Gomes collapsed during an aerial duel with Amadou Koné, before being taken care of by the medics.
