Bruno Genesio was full of praise for Nemanja Matic, who played his first minutes with Stade Rennais.
A week after starting the season with a convincing victory against FC Metz (5-1), Stade Rennais followed up with a good draw on the lawn of Lens (1-1). A meeting which gave rise to the baptism of Nemanja Matic with the Breton club.
And Bruno Genesio liked what he saw. “He made a comeback in line with what is expected of him. I think that too is for the club a little bit new; to be able for the club to attract players of this caliber”, he thus confided at the end of the meeting in remarks relayed by RMC.
The former Mancunian had arrived only a few days earlier from AS Roma. “We immediately see the calm, the serenity that he brings, his tactical reading also of certain situations which allowed us to cut off certain Lensoise counter-attacks, he continued. But we are not surprised when a player has played for Chelsea, Manchester United, Roma and has played a lot of Champions League games. It is sure that it brings a lot. »
