At the end of the meeting, his hug, all smiles, with Corentin Tolisso contrasted with the anger which had risen, at half-time of the match between Stade Rennais and Olympique Lyonnais (0-1), Sunday, while his team had been outnumbered since the 5th minute of play following the expulsion of Guéla Doué. Bruno Genesio was furious with certain members of the Lyon staff before half-time.
It started with very tense exchanges, while the ball was still rolling at Roazhon Park, with Remy Vercoutre, the OL goalkeeping coach. And it continued with Fabio Grosso’s assistants returning to the locker room at half-time. “You shut up, you’re not at home. You understood ? You’re not in Lyon here my guy, shut up,” said Genesio, in a scene captured by Canal+.
After a narrow but precious success against Panathinaikos (3-1) on Thursday in the Europa League, the Breton team fell back into its usual faults in the championship. The Bretons, who have only won two matches, are only a small point ahead of Lorient, the barrage. “Obviously we are disappointed, frustrated, angry but it’s football, the red card is justified, there is nothing to say,” commented Bruno Genesio after the match.
