“I’m going to talk to my leaders”, Bruno Genesio towards resignation?

Marked with a hot iron by the black series experienced by Olympique de Marseille, Bruno Genesio spoke about his future after the defeat conceded against PSG on Sunday at the Vélodrome (1-2).

There was no miracle for Olympique de Marseille on Sunday against Paris SG. While they remained on a series of four consecutive defeats, OM suffered a fifth setback during the Classic played at the Vélodrome at the end of the 5e day of Ligue 1.

But while most analysts promised a correction to the Marseillais, a consequence of the slap received on the lawn of Besiktas (1-4), Thursday, in the Europa League, the Ciel et Blanc resisted for a long time, the PSG having to wait until the 66e minute to open the scoring thanks to Ferran Torres. Better, instead of breaking down, OM managed to equalize a few minutes later with a goal from Angel Gomes. Alas, Marquinhos immediately gave the Parisians the lead again, allowing the capital club to win 2-1.

Bruno Genesio obviously could not be satisfied with this defeat, as encouraging as it was. “It’s not an honorable defeat that will satisfy me. We often lose on the same mistakes, he regretted at a press conference in comments relayed by The Team. I’m not annoyed or upset. This group gave their all this evening and did even more than their maximum. He stood up to the best team in Europe. But I can’t be satisfied with that. I don’t do this job to be satisfied with losing 2-1 because it’s the best team in Europe up against me. »

» “It’s not normal for OM to be in this situation”

While OM, leader after their inaugural victory against Strasbourg after the 1e day, is now in a relegation position, at 17e instead, Bruno Genesio takes the blame. “It’s not normal for OM to be in this situation,” he whispered into the Ligue 1+ microphone. “It’s insufficient, I assume my share of responsibility, as others will have to assume it too”he continued, adding that he had to
“talk with my leaders”. To resign? “For the moment I’m not there, I’m going to digest this defeat. »

“There is no idea of ​​resigning”, he assured at a press conference, undoubtedly hoping that the more affordable schedule at the end of the international break (Troyes, Angers) would allow OM to return to victory. “I hear it’s going to get better afterwards. We know that all matches in Ligue 1 are difficult, he nevertheless warned. And when you can take points, precisely, against very good teams, it gives you confidence and it also allows you to capitalize on that. In the last matches, we didn’t get paid, but we didn’t do enough to deserve better, too. »
