Ligue 1: "Everything is perfect" for Rennes but "there is one game left", warns Genesio

Bruno Genesio (Rennes coach, 2-0 winner against Monaco): “Everything is perfect tonight but there is still a 38th day to validate what we have done. We are happy with the result but also to give this kind of emotion to the whole stadium, and also to live from it because that is why we do this job. We’re going to savor that and on Monday we’re going to get back to work. The trap is to believe that the championship is over. I had spoken of the semi-final, there is one match left. We know it’s going to be tough in Brest. Tonight, we stayed very organized. Even when we didn’t manage to score, we didn’t panic, we knew how to be patient, to put our game down, to keep control even if it meant putting ourselves together a little lower. It’s a game full of everyone. We played in our qualities, individually and collectively. The release of Steve (Mandanda) is the big downside of the evening. He had calf pain for a few days. He hung on. He is one of those executives who have kept the boat afloat. It’s a big loss for us but we have confidence in Dogan (Alemdar) for Brest”.
