The Genoa coach Alberto Gilardinoin today’s press conference, spoke in view of tomorrow’s match against Verona. Here is what was reported by Buoncalcioatutti.it.
Opening the parenthesis on the match against Verona, could you change something on a tactical level or will you start again from your idea?
“The idea that I have always wanted to pass on to the team – and I think they have been good, already last year – is to be able to start the game in a certain way and be good at tactically shaping ourselves within the game. To change completely from the start of the game and to change as interpreters and team strategy. Tomorrow we face a reality and a team that has been in Serie A for six consecutive championships and for three seasons in the last five has obtained important results, positioning itself from eleventh to thirteenth place. Respect for these teams must be maintained, attention and mentality must be maintained. At the same time, tomorrow night we ask our people for help again: we need their support and backing. It will not be an easy game, we will have to maintain great mental attention and be good at determining within the game, but above all at reading what type of game it will be. We will have to understand the moments and times of the game, good at determining when we will have the chance with our players of greater quality and physicality”.
Tomorrow there will be Pinamonti’s debut at the Ferraris. What do you expect from him tomorrow?
“Andrea is a very mature guy, a great professional, and he immediately fit into the group with great humility, dedication and sacrifice. This is respected by the group. It reflects the game he played in Monza, from which he came out exhausted. We must try to put him in the best conditions, but he certainly scores goals, he knows how to play for the team and sacrifice himself in the defensive phase”.
