Four-time rookie Ballardini’s Genoa (hitherto undefeated) returns to victory after twelve league games, it does so by beating Spezia 2-1. We will talk about the Rossoblù moment with Beppe Nuti, a journalist for Telenord, in episode 196 of the Pianetagenoa1893.net “Grifo d’Attacco”.
Ballardini returns and the victory returns: do you think that is a coincidence? «Absolutely not, the coach has restored confidence and self-esteem to certain players who will be central to their salvation project. The victory would have been even greater if Scamacca, perhaps with his head elsewhere, and others had not missed the coup de grace. Sorry for the exoneration of Maran, an expert technician and certainly capable but in total management confusion at the rossoblù bank».
What impression did Genoa make on you on the Peak? «In the few days at his disposal, Ballardini worked exclusively on the players’ heads and some tactical concepts. One of them was the compactness and the recovery of the ball in the upper areas of the field to stifle La Spezia’s dribbling from the beginning, the best weapon of the Italian, sometimes presumptuous: I have not seen the so-called “coach” in front of Perin but to a team willing to attack as soon as they get the ball back. A small masterpiece by the Romagna coach».
The recovery starts with the senators from the Genoa dressing room. «It is true. From the center-back Radovanovic, disguised as an old free path, started badly (along with Czyborra they lose Gyasi and Nzola) but grew with experience and personality, Masiello and Criscito, in penalty goals against another Ligurian: defending more than 30 he held out against a swift trident. Then in midfield Behrami made the difference, let’s not talk about Pandev to tie the game as a spiker and Destro as a stacker.».
Ten wins to salvation, let’s start the countdown. «The coach knows his mission, he must make his men understand that nothing has been done against Spezia. Those who are not convinced can undo Pio’s cabinet and ask that it be sold in January. Genoa-Lazio will bring forward the opening of the repair market one day: the Grifo needs a substantial intervention for each department. Well, the possible return of Piatek, the dream is still El Shaarawy: he is training only in Dubai because he wants to go to the European Championship, unfortunately the last pharaonic commitment (14 million euros net) is out of the reach of any team».
Alessandro Legnazzi and Beppe Nuti wish all Rossoblù readers the best wishes for Christmas and Serno 2021! See you on January 4 to comment on Genoa-Lazio
