Lille coach Bruno Genesio was satisfied with a “very good point” taken against Juventus (1-1) in the Champions League on Tuesday at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, “which will count for a lot”..

Losc opened the scoring through Jonathan David (27th), only to be pegged back in the second half by a penalty from Dusan Vlahovic (60th), which seemed a foregone conclusion given Turin’s mastery.

“We managed to score on one of the few chances we had in the game, but then in the second half we suffered in the opening stages.admitted Bruno Genesio. We defended very well, which was important, because I think that’s a point that’s going to count for a lot.”

“If we’ve managed to take a point tonight, it’s thanks to the whole team, the whole squad, because we were very well organized defensively.added the 58-year-old coach. Even if we suffered, we all made the effort, which was essential to take points tonight (…) Overall, it’s still a very good point taken tonight.”

The point takes Losc’s total to seven points, putting them in twelfth place.

On the other side of the pitch, Juve coach Thiago Motta acknowledged that Lille “defended very well”.. “They started the game with a very precise idea: to counter-attack.”he insisted.
