Il Secolo XIX: “Loyal symbol of Vieira’s Genoa, hard to beat: what numbers”

The 19th Century analyzes the moment of Genoa goalkeeper Nicola Leali who was one of the best on the pitch with Milan in the last championship match. his saves sealed the final 0-0 and allowed Genoa to extend their streak of consecutive useful results to six. The last three always kept a clean sheet. And much of the credit goes to Leali who closed the door on Sunday evening.

Leali is the symbol of Vieira’s Genoa team which for now is very reminiscent of Ballardini’s Grifo: a team that perhaps didn’t put on a show, but which was very difficult to beat. With the French coach, the rossoblù have so far conceded only 2 goals in 4 games, both from penalties in the debut match against Cagliari. From action, Vieira’s Genoa have not yet conceded a goal. And Leali achieved his 3rd consecutive clean sheet (the fourth in 9 games).
