Marseille Coach Genesio Evaluated the Atmosphere and Player Performance Before the Beşiktaş Match

Bruno Genesio, the coach of France's representative Marseille, who will face Beşiktaş away tomorrow in the first week of the UEFA Europa League, made a statement at the press conference.

The French coach attended the press conference held at Tüpraş Stadium, where the match will be played, and stated that they wanted to give a chance to the players who did not play against Beşiktaş.

Pointing out that his players gave good signals on the field despite 3 consecutive defeats in the league, Genesio said, "We continue to work. As a team and players, we showed that we can be good on the field, even if the results are bad. We could have produced better results. I think we were able to show some good things in terms of the game. Good results will come over time. We are working seriously as a team."

Underlining that they analyzed Beşiktaş very well, the French coach said, "We analyzed our opponent very well. They have very good players. There are important names in the midfield and attack, the defense line is also good. It is a team that enters the game well together with its audience. When I came in 2017, I saw that this team and the fans were united. There were some things that gave us hope in the Rennes match. Now we will play against Beşiktaş, one of the best teams of this tournament. I can say this clearly."

"PLAYERS GIVE THEIR 100 PERCENT, BUT SOMETIMES THIS IS NOT ENOUGH"

Reminding that they faced Beşiktaş when he was coaching Olimpik Lyon in the 2016-2017 season, Genesio said that the black and white fans created a very good atmosphere.

Stating that the dream of both coaches and players has always been to play in such atmospheres, Genesio said, "This is the beloved environment in football. I tasted the atmosphere in this stadium in 2017, but my ears hurt for 2-3 days. It was a difficult atmosphere here. I can say that it was one of the best atmospheres I have seen in Europe. Of course, it will not be easy."

Stating that things have not been going well in the team since the end of last season, Genesio said, "We are taking positions in the matches. While we cannot score in these positions, our opponents are giving penalties. I can call this failure and choice errors in front of the goal. The players give 100 percent, but sometimes this is not enough."

Underlining that Marseille could not make a transfer this season, the French coach said:
