Dinamo Zagreb vs Lyonnais - Bruno Genesio determined to keep Lyon roaring



Posted Monday, November 21, 2016 by PA

Bruno Genesio has challenged Lyon to build up a head of steam in Tuesday's Champions League clash at Dinamo Zagreb.

Lyon must see off Group H whipping boys Dinamo in the Croatian capital to keep their slim last-16 qualification hopes alive.

Juventus can end Lyon's knockout chances with victory over Sevilla in Spain but Genesio believes Lyon must ignore the permutations.

Lyon claimed their third-straight win with the weekend's 1-0 victory at Lille in Ligue 1, with boss Genesio seeking a lengthy run of form.

"I was reassured by what I saw," said Genesio of the Lille victory.

"We didn't concede away from home and I thought the team was more structured and played more.

"So now we have to carry that forward. We need to put a run together."

Dinamo are determined however to get off the points mark in this term's group stage, frustrated both by a 1-1 league draw against NK Istra 1961 and their Champions League struggles.

Tuesday's hosts must claim all three points to maintain any chance of qualifying for the Europa League's last 32.

Winger Mario Situm has challenged the side to hit back to form, warning Lyon not to expect a victory stroll on Tuesday.

"We have something to say tomorrow, we will not surrender easily," said Situm.

"We want to show our motivation and we will not just be spectators.

"The motivation is key, I will always give the best and maximum effort for my club. It will be the same in every match."

Boss Ivaylo Petev has challenged his squad to hit back after their lacklustre weekend draw. The Dinamo manager believes his charges will take his words on board, and come out fighting.

"After the draw against Istra I am not happy," said Petev.

"I told the players they have to give everything for the club and I expect some positive reactions tomorrow against Lyon."
