Genoa, Gilardino: “No conditioning for the derby: the focus was all on Venezia”

Alberto GilardinoGenoa coach, spoke at a press conference after today’s tough defeat against Venezia. These are the words of the coach, condemned by the goals of Busio and Pohjanpalo: “The idea was to maintain the line of 5, unfortunately after his injury I thought I could force the game a bit more with Vitinha on the left, Pinamonti and Ekuban up front and Sabelli moved up higher up the wing. We lacked something in the second half and we have to recover it immediately”.

Yehator?
“He’s a player available to me and the team, we need him and we throw him in.”

We always think about the next one, but for a month in Genoa the derby has made everyone go crazy. In some way, unconsciously, has the challenge against Sampdoria that is coming weighed on us? The fans have been asking you to win it for a month.
“I repeat that we are all great and Serie A professionals. The focus was all on the challenge against Venezia. After this match we will think about Sampdoria. It is the most beautiful derby in Italy, it must be a great celebration among the fans, even for the families”.
