Genoa, Gilardino: “I’m happy with the game. Dybala scored a great goal”

Alberto Gilardinotechnician Genoaspoke into microphones Mediaset after losing the Coppa Italia against Rome: “I can’t be happy with the result, but I’m happy with the game. We knew we were up against a strong and well-structured team, today we were good from set pieces, while in other situations we could have played better. The mood was what I asked for before the match, but it’s a pity that the defeat came.

The match was decided by the world champion…

“Dybala scored a great goal. My idea was to change something in the structure of the team: those who played little, performed very well, they all knew how to interpret the match with balance and specificity. We made better use of previous broadcasts. On Monday we have an important match against Venezia and we need to prepare well.”

Genoa ready for direct promotion?

“We must try, we work every day for this purpose. We have done a great job in the last ten days, I have found great willingness from my players. We need to think from game to game, we need to concentrate from time to time: from tomorrow we will think about Venice. We will try to get the most out of every race.”

How has the new role affected you?

“I arrived a little over a month ago, the club gave me this chance: we started well, scored important points, but now a new chapter will open. The Serie B championship is tough, but we are ready: we know the value of the team, we need to focus on our identity and keep working.”
