Genoa, Gilardino: “Zero doubts about my boys. Balotelli? Now I enjoy Pinamonti”

These are the words of the Genoa coach Alberto Gilardinowho spoke to DAZN after his Genoa’s 2-2 draw against Bologna at the Luigi Ferraris stadium, a match that opened the 8th day of the Enilive 2024/2025 Serie A.

So many emotions after this race. What do you carry inside after this reaction?
“I had no doubt that kids could have and make reactions of this type. We didn’t give up an inch. Second goal came in our best moment but the reaction was right. With this spirit, point by point, we will be able to achieve our goal.”

Despite the period, is this attitude the greatest reassurance for a coach?
“Absolutely yes, all the boys proved flexible and available to play in multiple roles. We tried everything at the end playing with 3 strikers. I have to compliment my boys for their spirit. I’m glad we didn’t abandon the race. Also very happy for Pinamonti’s goals.”

With a Pinamonti like this, is a possible Balotelli needed?
“I know Mario, but today I’m enjoying Andrea because he is our striker and we must enjoy this result. Then we’ll see in the next few weeks, hoping to recover as many injured people as possible.”
