Genesio: I think Paris is already Ligue 1 champions and we're not going to put a bus in front of the box

Livestream on February 11 – Rennes are about to challenge paris saint-germain away in Ligue 1. In a pre-match press conference, Rennes coach Genesio said he thought Paris was already a Ligue 1 champion and that he needed his team to play a perfect game if he wanted to score points in Paris, but his team would not put a bus in front of the box.

Genesio said: "The league standings are enough to reflect the gap in strength between the teams, and Paris is now 13 points ahead of the second place (Marseille). There is no doubt that Paris has dominated the Ligue 1, they have the best players, they are the best team. Paris' goal now is to win the Champions League. However, Lille won the Ligue 1 title last season, which shows that everything is possible in football. I don't envy Paris Saint-Germain, I can only say that it is a good thing for those who work in Paris Saint-Germain. If they can win the Champions League, it's certainly good news because they're a French club. ”

"It's always exciting to be at the Parc des Princes, it's a majestic stadium and the atmosphere is strong. There is no doubt that this should be the only game in a season where the pressure is not on our side, because the opponent has to bear more pressure. We are looking forward to this game and everyone in the team is very motivated. I think the atmosphere of the scene will create trouble for the opponent. It's clear that if we want to score points at Paris, we have to play a perfect game. It takes our goalkeeper to play well and maybe Paris to think about other things. Personally, I don't think they'll think ahead of time about playing against Real Madrid. We watched Paris and Lille and they've turned on Champions League mode and I think the same thing will happen with us. ”

"I think Paris are already Ligue 1 champions, so their goal is to win the Champions League, first of all to win the two-legged match against Real Madrid. However, in order to play well in the Champions League knockout stages, we will definitely meet us in the best way and use our game as preparation practice, which will be a great challenge for us. Winning at the Parc des Princes will be a great feat, and let's just look at the historical data. But we're not going to put a bus in front of our own penalty area and then hope for a 0-0 draw. We have our own goals, to show the way the team should be in the game, to play our own style and to create as much trouble as possible for them. Genesio concluded.
