Lille v PSG: Genesio frustrated but backs Luis Enrique’s decision | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Lille faced off this Sunday at the Stade Pierre Mauroy as part of the 7th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. The match ended in a 1-1 draw (Lille/PSG video summary). After this match, Lille's coach Bruno Génésio spoke to the microphone of Ligue1+. He expressed his disappointment with the game and discussed his place in the stands, due to a suspension, and reflected on Luis Enrique's idea of voluntarily being there when he is at home.

Genesio "In the use of the ball and in the spaces we lacked a lot"

Do you have regrets about the first half?

We ended the match a bit frustrated but it's a good point because we came back to score, once again with a good match and players coming off the bench. We lacked a bit of madness and audacity and we ended a bit frustrated.

To what extent did the surprise of the match sheet disrupt the start of the match?

No, I don't think we needed to change the strategy because overall what we wanted to do we did quite well. In recovery, in the defensive game plan, I mean.

In the use of the ball and in the spaces we lacked a lot, a lot of things tonight. Thursday's match weighed on us and we lacked a lot of things with the ball to hope to win against PSG.

Genesio "we see a lot more things than from the bench."

Was Giroud a bit too isolated?

We had the opportunity to hurt them, we had spaces and I can't really tell you why we didn't succeed right away. We will talk about it with the players when they return from selection because it's interesting.

Are you interested in being high up in the stands like Luis Enrique at all?

Yes, I find it's different, we have a much more peripheral view, we see a lot more things than from the bench. We also have less strong emotions and therefore better analyses.
