8.57pm – Raffaele Palladino’s press conference begins.
How much does this victory weigh on the growth path?
“It was a hard-fought and dirty victory. It was a difficult match. I want to congratulate Genoa and its fans because today it was very difficult to play in this stadium with a crowd that cheered on its players. It was a dirty match, they put us in difficulty in the second balls but these are the victories that give you satisfaction. We needed a victory like this, as real men.
Do you look at the ranking?
“I don’t like watching it, I think of Turin.”
Did you expect this ranking?
“I didn’t think about it. I look at the growth of the team. We must maintain this humility. Today Quarta made a speech to the team that gave me shivers. These are important signs of a group that is growing. We must not feel stronger than we we are because Serie A is complicated. We have to maintain a low profile and this lightness.”
What buttons did Quarta touch?
“He said very nice things that remain in the locker room and makes us understand the strength of this group. It wasn’t easy to create this magic that is being created in this group.”
Did you expect these answers from De Gea or Gosens?
“I don’t expect answers, I expect confirmations. Sottil had an amazing phase of non-possession. Quarta played a crazy game. Whoever came on, Adli and Mandragora, did well. We brought in a 2006 player like Rubino. We must not have no response from any player.”
Did you expect a goal machine like this?
“I’m happy because this is a very solid team. Today in Serie A and in today’s football we need to defend and attack together. We have reached a balance and we must continue like this. I like the attacking phase because the team participates, we were a a bit sterile and we missed the last pass. It was a bit of a dirty match.”
Is there a particular focus on young people?
“I come from the youth sector, I coached for two years in Serie A and I have always believed in young people. Fiorentina has a great youth sector, I have brought many young people into training camps and I follow them. When I asked Rubino to join, his eyes widened , then he will bring the pastries. Italian football needs this courage.”
