“We want to approach this match with the ambition to win, we know that we need to reassure ourselves but I think that what we need most is to play completely free, said Bruno Genesio. We know that we will have to perform very well to achieve a result here against a team which is solid, which has very good players in the offensive area, which eliminated OM in the race for the C1. But I have confidence, when I see the first period of the match against Lorient (1-2), I tell myself that there is reason to be optimistic, even if it may seem a little strange after three losses. But I am, because I saw a team the way I like to see it. I just want her to play with her mind freed to win, to take initiatives. We have the quality, we have the spirit. » The stage is set.
