Post-match communication of the Lyon manager Bruno Genesio with reporters
- What would you say about the contribution of Fekir, who’s gone through certain psychological difficulties? In the next Champions League match, he won’t help you ...
- I'm happy for Nabil. A well-deserved result of the team, which we share together. Yes, Fekir went through a difficult period, he experienced some criticism. Psychologically, it was not easy for him, but he showed himself from the best side. I’m grateful to the whole team.
- Who would you highlight at Shakhtar? Are there any players you are interested in, the ones you would like to sign up in the transfer window?
- In general, they are a very strong and well-coordinated team. We have not yet discussed the transfer plans with our club management. I would mention Moraes.
- The Shakhtar coach said that you managed to achieve a positive outcome thanks to the individual attributes of the players. Do you agree with this statement or do you consider this success to be coaching and tactical?
- I can’t say that this is someone's personal victory. This is the result of team performance. It was achieved not only by football players but also by the medical staff, management, coaches. I especially want to highlight our doctors, who actually put the players back on their feet. This is a common success.
- What position might Shakhtar have in the French Championship, according to you?
- Of course, it wasn’t easy against these opponents. Given the personal qualities of all the players, I think Shakhtar could claim the fifth or sixth spot. They have a great defence.
- Is Lyon ready to save its leaders in the winter - Fekir, Ndombele?
- Of course, I would like that. It’s desirable that they remain until the end of the season, and then we will follow the developments.
- Who would you like to see as your opponents in the Last 16?
- Those are the best teams in Europe. Basically, it doesn’t matter who we’ll be drawn against, because that’s the football elite. Considering that we will play the first leg at home, we are ready to fight such rivals.
- Obviously, you wanted to have the edge after the first half. There was a discussion in the dressing room: did you emphasise the personal qualities of certain players who were to come to the fore?
- Perhaps you’ve got a bug and you overheard our conversations? In fact, I motivated and supported my players. Yes, I said that it’s in our interests to immediately achieve the result and that it’s desirable to win the first half. We were particularly frightened by Ismaily, the Shakhtar defender. In general, we led the match in the right direction and somehow achieved the desired result.
