“Ambition, stability and continuing the project.” These are the watchwords for Genoa’s next season. The CEO uttered them during his speech on the Ligurian broadcaster Telenord Andres Blazquez: “I would like to do the best I can. Last year we lost 12-15 points in the last minutes of matches. If you added the points to those we had at the end we would have gone to the Conference League. In the first round we lost those matches, then Gilardino managed to field a team that was in constant tension throughout the match and it showed because in the return we scored more points and we no longer lost in the final minutes. In the match against Bologna we saw an incredible team We’ll have a good championship.”
De Winter and open-door training sessions
Focusing on the individuals, Blazquez spoke about De Winter: “He has technical quality, he has everything to be a champion. He is the player who has improved the most since he has been here and has a very good margin for improvement. He is very reminiscent of Varane. We’ve had open-door training sessions sometimes.
Team success
Final comment on the team: “I always say that if the team can improve we will, we are ambitious. When Spors says we can afford to sell a player it is because there is another one here. If I can improve the team I will. Adding more people and if I can sell a player I will. We are ambitious and we want to continue to be ambitious. As far as I know, Genoa is not for sale. I think someone would tell me in a better condition than I found it. At some point I will leave and what I want to leave behind is a good job for the city, for Genoa and for its fans.”
