The Stade Rennais coach believed that his team deserved no better than the 3-2 defeat after the poor performance of his players against Monaco.
Bruno Genesio, the Rennes coach, beaten 3-2 by Monaco, could not hide his disappointment after the performance of his players: “It’s a setback but in no way will it prevent us from achieving our objectives (…) We made too many gross mistakes against a team that was very solid. We are disappointed but not defeated. We played a big team, we must emphasize the value of the opponent when he is stronger (…) We have a team that is learning, which is young, I will not overwhelm them tonight. (Not enough central defenders in the squad?) We have three, of course it’s more difficult with two absent (…) Omari was very disappointed, I told him to raise his head because he made a lot of very good matches. Now we’re going to help him get over it. And we also did some good things in this game. We could have come back to 2-2, we pushed to the end, we didn’t let go (…). Now we have 6 matches left and we will still try to play our game to score as many points as possible.»
