Impact restart: Genoa picked up where they left off and scored Koda’s goals

Where were we? You could tell by seeing the performance of Genoa. For Alberto Gilardino’s team, time never seemed to pass. We came out with a goalless win over Brescia, 3-0 at Rigamonti, and after the international break we see Griffin always win and keep a clean sheet again. It was Regina Pippo Inzaghi who paid the price against Sturaro and his teammates, beating Ferraris 1-0 in bedlam at the end of a tight game but earning three points worth a lot in the race for promotion. . A win that allows rossobl to temporarily approach -3 from above, but above all allows, always temporarily, to separate Sudtirol by +8.

Decisive turn

Among the positive factors, of course, is the return to the goals scored by striker Massimo Coda. The Rossoblu striker returned to the field from the first minute after four games due to a calf problem. The striker’s desire to return to scoring was palpable, and in the first half of the match he found a deadly diagonal that broke through Colomby, deciding the match and moving up to nine in the league. A goal that has been missing for more than two months: The last time it was on 21 January in a 2-1 success at the Benevento field. “In addition to scoring, he worked with the team,” Alberto Gilardino commented yesterday in the press center, “he played in support, and in any case, everyone contributed.”

“Give me a goalkeeper who saves, a center forward who scores, and I already have half of the team,” said the great Nereo Rocco. And if, on the one hand, the Code was important in the goal area, then on the other, Martinez was once again providential. It was his save at Canotto over time that recorded three points but above all kept a clean sheet for the 17th time out of 31 games and extended the unbeaten home record to 838 minutes. “When the match is not closed, you can create chances for the opponent,” concluded Gilardino. We managed to contain them very well. Martinez did well, but so did the entire rearguard, including Ilsanker, who was ready right away.”
