The Genoa will visit the Cagliari At Unipol Domus on Friday 7 March at 20:45 in the advance of the twenty -eighth day of Serie A. In view of the match against the Sardinian training of Davide Nicolathe Genoa coach, Patrick Vieiraintervened at the press conference from the “Gianluca Signorini” sports center of Pegli. Here are his words: “We are in a better situation than the first leg against Cagliari, but at the same time we have not yet done anything. We have not yet achieved the goal. I expect from the players and the club that we continue to be proud with the work we are carrying out. The ranking is short”.

Vieira continues: “In Cagliari I expect a hot atmosphere but we have been playing lately at San Siro, a complicated and difficult stage. There we have made a courageous game with great intensity. It means that outside the home we are able to do interesting things. The criticisms after the peer with Empoli? The criticisms are part of our world. But two things are very important for me, that is, understanding where we were weeks ago. I liked Inter and the team very much but we took zero points.

We played at home against Empoli and on that occasion we missed intensity. We didn’t play our best game but we still conquered a point. I don’t think it’s due to a physical problem. Against Empoli we found some energy after the goal. We missed intensity and aggression. With the quality we have we cannot go on the pitch with less intensity and aggression. We won three races in the house and draw one, it’s a positive thing for us. I told players to put the ranking aside and focus on the game.

After the victories in a row at home and the performance at San Siro raised the bar? This is football. There is no easy game. We saw it. Empoli played life and we played a good game in Milan. This intensity and this organization is the level I want for the team. We have to repeat it after game after game after game. “

Two -pointed attack?

The Genoa coach then took stock of the conditions of some singles: “Ekuban is physically well. He has worked great this week and is ready to play from the beginning. Aside from Thorsby, Vitinha and Bani all the others are well. Honest Ahanor is starting to work on the field and this is good news. Malinovskyi feels well. Badelj has played without problems. Match, it is up to me to make the choices.

On Vasquez And Pinamonti: “Vasquez is a very important player. I think he has this value that represents the club and fans well. He always gives 120%, he never gives up and helps his companions. He is really an example when he is on the field, he is a leader. He does not have the band on the arm but he is one of the captains. Pinamonti isolated in front? I am making a reflection with my staff to see if playing with two attackers. It can be a valid option. The balance of the team.

Vieira concludes with his judgment on the match between Real and Atlético of yesterday in the Champions League: “A nice game between two different philosophies. If you ask me who passes the turn I don’t know. The difference has made the individual quality but let’s see to the end”.
