Head, heart and feet: Gilardino loads his Genoa for an important task

“Head, heart, legs.” Three main components. Which cannot be missed. This is how Alberto Gilardino prepares for a very important match against Ascoli this afternoon. In just three hours, the Ferraris will turn red and blue to welcome Sturaro and his teammates against Roberto Breda’s bianconeri. An environment full of loads for the trip that the griffin is doing. Everyone already knows the combinations, it will be necessary to score one point more than Bari, who at the same time participates in Braglie in Modena, in order to be able to raise a toast to a direct promotion. Definitely premature calculations that the rooms of the Villa Rostand do not want to hear. The goal is to think only about the field and the match to be played.

Gila disqualified

A match that Gilardino will not be able to feel from the outside. An excited finish by Druso Bolzano after a penalty not awarded to Ekuban led to the expulsion of the Rossoblu coach and subsequent disqualification. “Now they will be with… yours,” he said yesterday at a press conference, clearly smiling and referring to what Karidi and his technical staff said in jest. “I always live with great passion and the desire to bring results home,” Gila continued, “and the same thing will happen tomorrow from the stands. But I will always be with the guys. I will try before the match, in a technical meeting, to talk to them and stimulate them.”

This won’t be the last game.

Beware of the traps that lie behind the match with Ascoli. But above all, never lower the tension. The goal has not yet been reached arithmetically, but it is obvious. Just one last step. And it could come today if Bari doesn’t bring home the whole bet. Thoughts that do not pass through the head of the coach and staff for the “Naples effect”, which is not afraid. “We all believe that this is not the last game,” – said Gilardino. This is a very important, principled match, but by no means the last one. The intention is to put on a great game in front of our fans and get a positive result.”
