In a key week for Genoa, the team continued with an intense mixed session, marking the penultimate training session of the season. All attention is also focused on the Frecciarossa Italian Cup final, an event that has also attracted prominent figures such as president Zangrillo and the club’s CEO Blázquez, currently in Rome to participate in the Lega assembly.
Another focal point of the week was the contract renewal of captain Milan Badelj, who is now tied to the club until 30 June 2025. This move strengthens the stability of the team and confirms Badelj’s importance in the technical project and in the dressing room.
The sports center hosted the second day of the FIGC course for athletic trainers, an initiative that continues to highlight the club’s commitment to the training and continuous improvement of the technical staff.
On the field, the team proves solid, remaining unbeaten in nine of the last ten away games, with a balance of three wins and six draws. A notable figure is that linked to Albert Gudmundsson, the Icelandic striker who scored eight of the team’s fourteen away goals, approaching the record of goals scored away from home in a single Serie A championship, held by Rodrigo Palacio and Trevisan.
Beyond the pitch, there is also great attention for players in the recovery phase. Their conditions are constantly monitored, with personalized sessions to speed up their return to the pitch, while training continues between fast-paced exercises and tactical matches, despite a light rain which did not stop the outdoor programme.
Aside from sporting activity, the club’s influence also extends off the pitch. The lesson held by the team psychologist, Dr. Sacco, in the main hall of CS Onesti, caught the attention of the finalists of the Junior TIM Cup, demonstrating the importance of psychological support in youth sport.
Finally, the enthusiasm of the fans is manifested through thousands of postcards received for the election of the Golden Griffin, the award given to the player most voted for by young supporters, an initiative that celebrates the passion and unconditional support of fans towards the their team.
