Genoa “Balla” for the fourth time. So be it. For Ballardini it will certainly not be a “Dancing with the stars.” Unfortunately, as one fan who still has a hint of irony put it, “dancing with the … stables!”
The one who impresses us a lot is President Preziosi who never seems to dramatize: one technician goes wrong, if another comes out, what happens? Six coaches, after the last Ballardini, 29 in 15 years report the statistics. Without a doubt, it is a form of “compulsive buying”.
Now it is Ballardini’s turn: the truth is that he is the only one (after Gasperini) who has done quite well, nothing exceptional for charity, as for the game but at least he has always saved the team from relegation.
Because you should already know that Grifo’s “scudetto” is salvation: think that for players who avoid relegation to Serie B there is usually a prize, the infamous “salvation prize.” Yes, salvation: but, dear Preziosi, when will Genoa count to reach the top of the table?
Coaches theme: We hope Ballardini will perform yet another miracle to save the team and society. It is clear that leading a team in these conditions (but this also happens with other clubs) requires a lot of courage: but we know that, in times of unemployment, a coach, like any employee, accepts any proposal to be able to work. even in dramatic situations.
We hope that Ballardini’s economic situation is calm, so the technician should have accepted, evaluating the technical part, convinced that he can do it. In addition, it comes from a president who, just a year ago, had defined it as “poor, inadequate to lead a Serie A team.” Obviously, football overcomes all judgments, even moral ones and then, when all this happens in a Genoa that, as we have been saying for a long time, is a “paranormal fact”, everything is justifiable.
What does the Ravenna coach find today when he arrives at Genoa? It is difficult to say: in the meantime there is a president who has changed his mind about the coach and “tafazzianamente” is receiving too many salaries: from Andreazzoli, Nicola, Maran as well as the sports director Faggiano and his numerous squad, as well as worn out players so much physically as well as psychologically. Players who are a bit scattered, because they have suffered injuries, operations, sprains, sprains. And by the way (this Ballardini will have to be taken into account) no one can take our heads off that Covid, which has infected Genoa before any other company, has profoundly influenced and conditioned the players (19 ended up in quarantine, a single hit …) So, even today, some consequences are felt and how, since the rossoblùs almost all seem tired at the end of the game.
Under these conditions, it must also be admitted that poor Maran could not do much: even these problems derived from the Coronavirus will have to be taken into account by the “Balla”. Luckily there is January and Preziosi, serenely compulsive, will buy (better: he will probably borrow) some reinforcements, as long as there are valid ones on the market.
Ballardini is still a serious professional: that’s why we hope that Genoa grafts the fourth (the fifth is not necessary) to get out of that damn tunnel.
