Bruno Genesio, Rennes coach, beaten 1-0 by Marseille:
«When you want to fight for the podium, you have to be more mature. It’s not acceptable to concede a goal like that. We knew they were very efficient when they had to defend a score. It was difficult but at the end of the match we could have snatched at least one point from the draw which would have been deserved on the face of the match. This goal conceded is a lack of concentration, attention, maturity. The first goal in a match like this is very important. And we’re cashing in on something ridiculous.
The match comes down to this: a very good team with maturity, against a very good team that lacks maturity. It is up to us to ask ourselves the right questions. (Is there a glass ceiling?) I think we can say that. (…) Tonight is a setback and it shows that it is difficult for us to fight with this kind of teams (for the podium). Now we are still 5th, there are 12 games left, we also showed great things tonight so we will hang on to defend this place until the end of the season.»
