Genesio (Rennes) before the match in Nice: “The points will be very expensive”

“You have been losing away from home and winning at home for four days. In Nice, do you fear a relapse?
I observe that we have 56 points after 33 days, like last year. What were we saying then? That was very satisfying. We have the same number of points, the same number of goals conceded, but fewer goals scored. And we were third, teams were running less strongly. Obviously, we are aware that the second half of the season is not what we would like it to be, but we are not as dropped as we want to say.

How do you get back outside?
If we take Lyon (1-3, April 9) and Montpellier (0-1, April 23), these are matches where, at half-time, we could have made the difference. Sometimes it’s a lack of success, sometimes not the right gestures or a lack of aggressiveness. On this side, against Angers, Sunday (4-2)I really liked this reaction from my attackers, especially on the first goal, Amine’s race which cuts off the first, and there were other situations.

How do you perceive this final sprint?
There are five matches left, we have our destiny between our feet, it’s up to us to do the job. There is Monaco, Lille, Lyon and us, four teams for the Europa League or the Conference League, the points are going to be very expensive. You have to go get them, you need quality, character in each match, without projecting too much on what happens next and the opponents. It’s simply concentrating on our game, on what we want to do with this end of the season to crown once again a season that will be satisfying, even very satisfying. »
