Ligue 1: “We have progressed”, notes Bruno Genesio

Bruno Genesio, coach of Lyon, after the draw at Lens on Sunday during the third day of Ligue 1: “I am satisfied. It’s never easy to get a result at Lens, which is a strong team at home. It shows that we have improved compared to last season on weak time management. We managed to get back into the game in the second half, with more technical mastery. In the first half, we recovered the ball well in high areas, but we returned it too quickly. We gave Lens too many weapons. We were doing well to only come back to 0-1 at the break. I think we were weakened by the start of the match. I find that we have insisted too much in the heart of the game. We should have exploited the sides more. It remains a good result, even if we are frustrated with the end of the game. But it’s a fair draw, and a good point for us. It shows that the club is progressing.”
