Genoa is preparing to challenge Roma today, with the aim of recovering the points lost against Fiorentina and maintaining their position in the standings. The Grifone coach, Daniele De Rossi, has expressed his desire to continue on the successful trajectory that has brought the team a positive result at home, but underlines that the match against Roma represents a true test of resistance.
Among the main issues that the coach must face is the choice of defensive formation. De Rossi is evaluating whether to keep the back four or opt for a more compact structure with three central defenders, supported by the two flankers. This decision will be made in the hours before the start of the match, taking into account the game plan foreseen for the match.
As regards the composition of the bench, the only player who could return available is Alexsandro Amorim. The Brazilian midfielder partially returned to the group after a brief illness, but with reduced workload. If the doctor gives the all-clear, Amorim will be the only player recovered for the day. Other names that remain pending are Havel, Meichtry and Colombo, while the freshness of Wiafe and Robinho Jr. is considered a strong point. Robinho Junior, in particular, is making space for himself in the team, while Samuel Wiafe is increasingly integrated into the first team and will be sent to Rome not only for the experience but also to contribute to the result.
Coach De Rossi also underlined that Roma are not just an opponent, but a "scary game" thanks to the technical strength of their coach Gasperini. Despite this, the Grifone's will is to show good commitment and try to return to Genoa with important points for the continuation of the season. The result of this match could be decisive for Genoa's position in the Serie A standings.
