Former striker Goran Pandev outlines the route for Grifone’s future: “With De Rossi we can open a cycle like with Gasperini.” And he recommends a young talent for the attack.
“Genoa must think big.” Goran Pandev’s words chart a clear course for the Griffin’s future. The former Macedonian striker, who chose Genoa as his adopted city, analyzes the new direction of the team under the guidance of Daniele De Rossi, seeing the potential for an ambitious and long-lasting project. According to his vision, the company has laid the foundations for a solid future and now the right mentality is needed to make the leap in quality.
Gasperini’s legacy and the bet on De Rossi
Pandev doesn’t mince words in comparing the new manager’s potential impact to that of one of the most influential managers in the club’s recent history. “De Rossi can open an important cycle, just like what happened in Gasperini’s time,” explained the former footballer. The choice of a coach like the former Roma captain represents, for Pandev, a sign of the desire to build a playing identity and a winning mentality, capable of aiming for prestigious goals and of inflaming the Ferraris public again.
A tip for the market: Omeragic
His life today is still immersed in football, albeit in a different role. Pandev works for the Macedonian federation, with the task of scouting new talents for the national team. An activity that leads him to observe many promising young people. From this experience comes a direct suggestion for the Genoa market. “I advise Grifone to keep an eye on Omeragic,” said Pandev, referring to a young striker who, in his opinion, has the qualities to establish himself in the Italian championship. A name to strengthen the attack and continue on the path to growth.
