Ballardini does not wait for Sky’s microphones: «It was a good victory – he begins – and I am satisfied because the team behaved like a … team, and this is what I had asked the boys in these two days, that is, since when I arrived. However, we need to improve a lot, both in the construction phase and in the closings, where sometimes we risk too much. We often hit the ball a second later, and sometimes we took a chance. We also fear that Spezia is a very good dribbling team. “
-The choice of many senators of the team, an election or the players you know best?
“I don’t know,” answers Uncle Balla with a smile, “because we had 5 players over thirty years of age and 5 very young, therefore a mixture of youth and experience. I chose based on what I saw in these two days that we were together, I chose the most appropriate one.
-After the fight, the return of Preziosi to Genoa, not last year, today yes, why?
«It must be said that Genoa had already looked for me twice; I was not expecting a call from the president now, but Genoa was in trouble, so I went to the third call willingly. This time I said yes because…. I had a crazy desire to return! My team and I had been stuck for some time … I had a crazy desire for Genoa, a crazy desire to get back on the field … we couldn’t wait to get back to training … great if in Genoa.
-How do you judge the Genoa you have in your hand?
“It’s clear to me: in my opinion this team needs some adjustments; I am for quality football, for aggressive football, and today I have a defender who is a midfielder, because I want the game to start from behind, to be a proactive game. I want the ball to be handled, for the team to play fast, for the touches to be simple and deep, and above all for them to have control of the field when they have possession of the ball, not to waste it. We have to be more aggressive, compact, press the ball when the opponent plays it. In short, there are many things that we must improve. Of course today – Ballardini concluded – I have seen so much humility that it is very useful. This attitude is a good omen.
