Deprived of many key elements, the northern team welcomes Juventus on the 4th day of the Champions League. Bruno Genesio, forced to reinvent his team, remains confident and hopes for a third victory in a row in C1.
To deal with the massacre of injured people that has hit the Luchin area for several weeks, Bruno Genesio has no other options than to don a handyman’s costume in the hope of continuing to surf the beautiful wave. victories on the European scene. Victorious against Real (1-0) and Atletico (3-1) after an inaugural defeat against Sporting (0-2), LOSC presents itself this evening against Juventus with a new team where several players will not play not in their preferred positions. The serious injury this weekend to Thomas Meunier (adductor) combined with that of André Gomes (ischio) increased the list of convalescents on the Mastiff side, so Thiago Santos (knee), Ismaïly and Haraldsson are still in the infirmary. And it’s a real equation with several unknowns that the former Rhone coach will have to resolve before facing the Old Lady.
Aissa Mandi should therefore leave his place in the central hinge to occupy a right-back position that he knew when he started at Stade de Reims. The Algerian should not be out of place in this corridor, since he often helps out in this position in the selection. While the young Ousmane Touré was expected to start in the center, he was diagnosed with a thigh injury the day before yesterday. It is ultimately Diakité and Alexsandro who will have to form the central duo in defense. In the middle, the Norwegian Osame Sahraoui holds the rope to lead the game behind Jonathan David despite a slight injury contracted on Friday, otherwise it is the young Fernandez-Prado who will be lined up. Benjamin André and Ayyoub Bouaddi will have to form the recovery pair in order to feed Zhergova and Angel Gomes on the wings.
A third hoped-for feat
For Genesio, absences should not be used as an excuse to be less ambitious this evening at the Pierre Mauroy stadium, the key to a good performance remains commitment “Every match is different, but intensity and commitment are essential conditions to achieve a result. The Juve team, like many Italian teams, is very well organized tactically, very difficult to play with a lot of individuality What is important is that we must be aware that we have already achieved two feats against Real and Atletico and when you do it twice, you must be able to reproduce it. our luck to the fullest.”
Facing him will be a Juventus team, solid and difficult to handle who have not lost a match in Serie A this season. His coach Thiago Motta was full of praise for his Lille counterpart but remains determined to take the three points. I’m not impressed by his recent results (those of Genesio) because he did a good job from his start, in Lyon. He always wanted to transmit a very specific way of playing to his team, a collective way of playing. His teams are also very solid defensively. I know this coach and what he has done until today. It will be interesting to meet him tomorrow. We will be focused and determined to succeed in a big match… All the work has been done to find ourselves in optimal condition to face Lille, but we will have to give more than our maximum to get there “. A tough and tactical duel with two renowned coaches in perspective, it looks like the poster against Real a month ago. On the side of the Mastiffs we would sign with both hands for the same outcome.
