The Sassuolo flounders in the rankings and ‘Mister Wolf’ David Ballardini he is not succeeding in the new venture. Has the Romagna coach, called upon in the most desperate and disparate situations, fresh from last year’s relegation with Cremonese and his dismissal at the beginning of the year, in Serie B, still on the bench of the grey-reds, lost his magic touch? The coach ‘asked for a path’ from his former team, the Genoafaced last Sunday at the Luigi Ferraris stadium.
Great welcome, open applause for him who is at home in Marassi. “I know that I am esteemed, respected, I know that I am surrounded by respect and love from the people who support Genoa. It is exciting, touching, it is the confirmation of the relationship that exists between me and the people who love Genoa” his words later the challenge.

AND La Gazzetta dello Sport on newsstands today he underlined the difficulties of Mago Balla and the prank of ‘his’ Genoa: “Davide Ballardini saved Genoa four times. He would arrive at the bedside of the Old Trickster, as Gianni Brera had renamed the Griffin, and take a quick look through dark glasses and always found the solution. In the Genoa rossoblù, Ballardini is affectionately called Uncle Balla, a close relative to turn to in times of difficulty. Uncle Balla today at Sassuolo, needed a hand, but Genoa of Gilardino he didn’t give it to him: right, in sport you don’t give Ballardini anything that cannot be judged, due to a tangle of feelings”.
