As always happens in football, the best response is the one given on the field and not in front of a microphone. Genoa spent twenty-three days as if they were one, from Naples’ return to the Verona draw. Almost a month in apnea, between the medical findings and the organization of the next cycle of matches. The last answer, however, is the sweetest of all because it testifies to how the Rossoblùs are a true “team”, a concept that is sometimes abused in the world of football. Perin remarked emphatically at the end of the game, with bright eyes, a shaky voice, and enough breath to unleash an emotional charge that he had never felt in his career. “I’m not shallow, I’m not carelessIt is the cry of captain rossoblù, recently struck by an opinion that is still intolerant.
Perin blocked everything, not just Covid-19: first Colley, then Favilli, and finally Salcedo. Three completely banal interventions, different in their own way. Quick descent to the ground, reflexes and reactivity sometimes born from inactive balls. There is all of Perin, the old Perin, in the 0-0 of Bentegodi. The ninety minutes of Genoa also reward the performance of Cristian Zapata, probably the best since he wore a rossoblù: concentrated, attentive to each high ball, rocky like a scorer of yesteryear. Drew a line on the ground, right leader, and no one has crossed it, not even expert Kalinic. The Colombian remains, therefore, one of the most reliable defenders as long as the Griffon plays short and with a low center of gravity, fully protecting the castle in the penalty area. Zapata’s physicality will be of great use already in the next game when he will have to fight a panzer like Lukaku.
Badelj did not run, reduced in geometry by Juric’s median who certainly does not shine for quality: instead, Rovella – December 2001 – had the courage to take the score and lead the team with simplicity. The son of the rossoblù quarry, the youngest starter in the field, will not be Von Karajan but he is a midfielder to discover by proposing to him with more courage, for the good of Genoa and the Italian youth movement. Finally, the attack has not been received, still not very incisive and excessively dependent on Pandev’s moves, yesterday not decisive: the sterility of the department, which has no more outlets than the Macedonian, worries despite the props of the summer market , against which a fair integration period must be recognized. Only then can they give unique answers in the field. As always happens in football.
