Genoa, Gilardino: “I asked the team to focus on performance: the results will come”

Approved until the end of the season as first team coach, Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino spoke from columns de Il Secolo XIX-Genoa:”Results and performances – good luck for the coach. From the first day I arrived, I asked the team to focus on performance, because in the end results come. I did the same at the first training session of 2023: my way of thinking will not change from the first days. We will only have more time to work on some concepts, which is fundamental for a team that needs to grow. Otherwise, we must maintain continuity and continue to work hard. Module? We must be very flexible. I believe that modern football requires this situation: you must be plastic and pliable in accordance with your needs. However, we have important midfielders, so the assessment is to give continuity to a three-man midfielder. Then in attack you can play with two tighter or wider attacking midfielders, and at some points in the match you can also play with two strikers.”

The banknote is then sent to the market with the arrival of Mimmo Criscito: “He’s been here for a long time, he’s a banner like other players like Sturaro. Mimmo can play as a left back, but he can also be a center in a three-man defense. He is an important player both for the group and for the game. what it offers.”

And look at the squad already in place: “For us, the Code should be and is an added value and can be at the beginning of the game or during the game.. I have a strong squad, in some roles we have two players and we need everyone. Koda’s history speaks for him: he scored many goals and excelled in this category. He must work, be in good physical shape, have the will and ambition. I’m sure he has this desire to succeed in his heart so that we start with positive things. Young people? We should not be biased and afraid to burn them. You have to take a little risk in life, and besides Bocha, we have other guys who are doing very well.”
