Genoa concluded its home match against Juventus with a victory that confirmed the solidity of the group and the patience of the club. Daniele DeRossi, Genoa coach, praised the players' performance and underlined the importance of rotation and internal cohesion.
During the press conference, DeRossi declared that the match against Juventus was "a good match in line with the others" and expressed gratitude towards the players who remained calm and disciplined. He also recognized the vital role of Vitinha, who the coach said has demonstrated “heart, intelligence and attacking space” since his arrival in July. The coach reiterated that the team worked hard to improve their performance, especially in the first half, when he observed that the shooting was not up to expectations.
DeRossi also spoke about the management of the team, stating that the rotation has been "perfect" thanks to the addition of new players. He mentioned the need to hurt Juventus more both in the final part of the first half and in the second, but decided to focus on complimenting the players rather than criticizing the performance. He recalled the importance of maintaining patience and giving space to players like Meichtry and Ehizibue, who are still recovering their optimal form.
The coach also expressed his appreciation for Tommaso Baldanzi's team, calling it "a phenomenon" and underlining the need to involve all the players, especially in a season in which matches take place every three days. He acknowledged that the season is difficult for coaches, but expressed confidence in his staff's ability to overcome the challenges.
Finally, DeRossi spoke about the future, highlighting that the group is united and that the club's patience has led to positive results. He concluded the press conference by saying that the credit goes to the players and the club, which has shown that it has patience and works with real professionals. Genoa is now preparing to continue its run in Serie A, with the hope of maintaining the form demonstrated in the victory against Juventus.
