Exciting moments at the start of the second half. During the press conference after the defeat against Lazio, the Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino he spoke of the chants of affection from the rossoblu fans towards him that came from the North Stands and beyond: “As I have always said, there is great affection on my part, towards the fans in general, towards our people – declared the Grifone coach – I think it’s mutual for what we’ve shared together up until now, together with the boys, together with the team, for what we’ve managed to create, so it made me very happy and absolutely thrilled.”
De Winter and Strootman?
“I think he can play there in the near future. At times he did decent things tonight, some mistakes in the defensive phase from the point of view of attention. For Strootman it was right to give him a chance for the professional he is.”
How did you see the team’s offensive phase?
“Very good in the first half, as long as Retegui and Ekuban held their own we created the conditions to be able to hurt them. In the second half we dropped and struggled. They had the cleanliness of the first pass and that’s when we ran into difficulty.”
