Genoa Primavera achieved a success against Fiorentina today which raises their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs. Alessandro Agostinirossoblù coach, speaks to Pianetagenoa1893.net of the 3-2 which saw the rossoblù relaunch themselves towards the top of the table.
After a somewhat complicated start, did you expect such a vehement reaction from your boys?
«It was a complicated start, we talked about this match a lot during the week. I loaded up the guys and I think it was right like this, I expected them to be a little tense at the beginning but I knew that afterwards they would loosen up and put in place what they put in today. My congratulations go to all the boys.”
Ahanor showed off a great performance, he scored his first goal as a starter: is he now an important player for your team?
«Honest is a very important player, but we knew it: he trains with us often during the week. Today he did great, he deserved to play and he put in an important performance. I’m very happy for him, he will be an important player.”
Credit where credit is due: you chose the exact timing for the substitutions, especially Ekhator for Bornosuzov…
«Sometimes the substitutions are right and sometimes not, the important thing is to try today as always. The guys who come in always do well.”
Sorry if I insist, but Sassuolo, waiting for Torino to play tomorrow, is only 4 points away in the playoff zone: can we have a “wonderful” thought at this point?
«A wonderful thought? It can be done, but we will have to play every game to the death: only in this way can this dream be realized. In any case, I think it’s right to dream but also to realize how much good this team has done from the start of the season until today. Salvation was achieved and it wasn’t easy, little by little the boys were more and more extraordinary in their path of growth and improvement. For this I want to give credit to all the staff, to the director, team manager, warehouse workers, physiotherapists, to everyone who works with us. I know how much they put into it and I’m very happy.”
