Three points to find a smile at home. The Genoa is chasing a victory that would not only allow us to celebrate in front of the friendly public after more than two months, but which could even give us arithmetic salvation if theUdineseon the pitch today at Bolognashould not take home the entire stake.
A combination that, we are sure, Alberto will not think of Gilardino, always focused on the present and above all on how much good his team can do on the pitch. We will need the same attitude seen in the season, that ferocity and that character appreciated by the public together with the right quality when the team has the ball at its feet to go and hurt a team, that of Claudio Ranieri, fighting not to be relegated.
The “Ferraris”, once again, will be full of passion for the red and blue colours. Within the friendly walls the full spoils have been missing since February 24th and since that day there have been two defeats against Monza and Lazio interspersed with a 1-1 draw against Frosinone. We work intensely at the “Signorini” in Pegli with the Grifone coach in search of the right tactical structure to oppose the islanders. The good news arrived this week with the return available to Vitinha after the physical problem suffered after the match in Turin against Juventus. The Portuguese striker will be added to the group and therefore regularly called up for tomorrow evening but obviously he will not have the 90 minutes in his legs, like himself Gilardino he underlined last Wednesday in Alassio for the signature on the tile of the famous wall. The former Marseille player will sit on the bench and then come in handy during the match with his quality and his ability to hurt his opponent. Albert will be on the pitch instead Gudmundsson but it remains to be seen whether he will occupy the role of midfielder-attacker with the two attackers Retegui and Ekuban or if, perhaps to protect himself, the coach opts for a 3-5-2 with three pure midfielders and two strikers. In this case, together with the Icelandic, who will be placed on the front line, there could only be one between the Italian and the former Chievo player while in the middle of the field with Badelj and Frendrup the first candidate could be Thorsby, cas happened in Florence when he got injured Messias. Injured players will not be part of the match Malinovskyi, Messias And Bani which, in addition to Matturro, I’m still in the infirmary. It is possible that it will be centralized DeWinter with Vasquez untouchable as a left-hand man.
It is not excluded that in other roles on the pitch, from the first minute or during the match in progress, the coach could perhaps give space to those who have played less during the season so as to involve all the elements of the squad. “That’s the idea,” he said Gilardino last Wednesday – already in the last matches players like Thorsby and Strootman they were used and had played less in the last period. The idea is to involve everyone for the objective, which is a team objective and not an individual objective. I always told the guys to think about the team, to work for the team and for the final goal. If there are possibilities and will, yes.” A few hours therefore to resolve the final questions and make the necessary assessments. Then the ball passes to the field and the objective remains that of conquering the full spoils. To cross the finish line of 40 points and to return to celebrate with their fans.
Tomorrow evening the Genoa he will take the field with a special shirt, also brought to the Mayor Bucci by CEO Andres Blazquez on April 23rd, St. George’s Day and flag celebration, and also shown by the general director Flavio Ricciardella and by the general manager Marco Rossi at the presentation of Gessi’s book Adamoli and Alberto Puppo “Il Grande Genoa” (from yesterday available for free with the purchase of “Repubbica”).
The writing “Genova” will appear on the front of the shirt while on the sleeve there will be a patch with the flag with the red cross on a white background, symbol of the city.
