Bruno Genesio : « Cette qualif’ confirme ce qu’on a fait en fin d’année »

Lyon's coach and his players spoke to OLTV following Saturday's 2-0 win over Bourges in the Coupe de France Round of 64.

Bruno Genesio

"It was a very serious performance. We had some dangerous situations, but Anthony allowed us to stay in the game. My lineup allowed me to show that everyone is involved. The context is often complicated with an overexcited opponent and a tough pitch. We deserved to advance. This win confirms what we did at the end of the year. We've only lost one of our last 15 games. This is a good sign. We would like to go after a cup. We must now recover for Tuesday."

Anthony Lopes

"I try to deliver when I'm called upon. The team was serious from start to finish on a tough pitch. We didn't concede a goal. The essential is there. We faced this match as a Cup match. These types of matches are different, we had to be serious."

"I work on my finishing a lot in training. It's nice to be able to show it in a match. It was a beautiful goal. I know Ferland Mendy and I wasn't surprised to see the ball coming into my feet. Cup matches are often complicated. Bourges were a very determined opponent. We had to start the year in the best possible way."
