Bruno Genesio appreciated the behavior of his players against Manchester City (2-2) on Tuesday. But the coach of OL regretted the mistakes that allowed his opponent to equalize.

"What is your feeling after this result?
Rather pride: see my team behaving like that against one of the best European teams … Frustration also because we would have liked to be qualified from this point on (Tuesday) evening. This was played out very little against City or Hoffenheim. We must remember all that is positive and continue to move forward. I'm not surprised by the result of Donetsk, who is a good team while Hoffenheim has a game at risk and concedes a lot of goals. I regret that the Germans cash this goal in the last minutes. The match against Donetsk is a final for the qualification. I see it with a lot of confidence because we are still unbeaten in this phase of hens. We are in a position to qualify. We saw that we could raise our level of play quite high. In the meantime, there are still championship games to win and we have time to prepare.

Why did you choose to become Maxwell Cornet?
The first reason is his behavior since entering Guingamp (before the international truce) then the one against Saint-Etienne (Friday) against whom he has performed individually and for the team. He has a faculty in deep races and to repeat efforts, he is able to come defensively as he did. These are the two reasons that pushed me to make him tenured. He is a player who was confident again. Congratulations to him for responding and congratulations to the whole team. When we keep the right state of mind, we are often rewarded.

"You have to learn to be more focused"

And your game plan has worked rather well …
The idea was to have a very compact median block, high enough on the ground to interfere in their possession game and as soon as the ball is recovered, to be able to get out of their pressure. We know that it is a very strong team in transitions. By badociating Houssem Aouar and Tanguy Ndombélé, the objective was to get out balloons and to align three attackers. We could then find enough depth to cause problems as soon as the balloon is recovered. That's why we have lined up a pretty offensive team.

It was also necessary to score a lot of goals to hope to win. This was played out in a few things. Congratulations to all the players who delivered a very high level performance. You have to learn to be more focused to avoid cashing the second goal in particular. We were in the euphoria of our second goal. We have to do better on placement. It is regrettable. On the first goal, we were unhappy because there is a deflection at the first post. "
