Genoa coach Daniele De Rossi expressed his appreciation for the players who contributed to the victory against Venezia, underlining the importance of recognizing the merits of the players even when the public is critical.
During the press conference, De Rossi began by talking about Marco Colombo, stating that the player gave his all and that fans should celebrate his efforts rather than criticize. He then commented on the performance of Bijlow, who had shown some discomfort the previous week: "We thought he couldn't play, but he played a great game."
The coach then praised the young player Frendrup, calling him "a human phenomenon" and underlining that his contribution was decisive for the victory. “There is no need for excuses, he did well like everyone else,” he added, inviting the players to improve further.
As for Ellertsson, De Rossi expressed his defense towards the player, but also criticized his performance against Pegli, calling it "a massacre". The coach recognized the potential of Ellertsson, who can play in different roles and has a powerful shot, but underlined that today's match was not the most suitable to showcase his talent.
Genoa ended the match with a championship victory, and De Rossi reiterated that the success is the result of collective work. The coach closed the conference by promising to continue working with the players to improve individual and team performances, with the aim of keeping the team competing for the league table.
