In the first round of the Italian Cup, the Vieira team exceeds the Venetians and conquers the 32 against Empoli
He wanted to raise the bar over the past season, Patrick Vieira and therefore the Genoa coach had asked for a line of midfielders at the beginning of the market. If these are the premises -the 3-0 on Vicenza is proof of this -, has been satisfied, because against a good Vicenza, remaining in the game almost halfway through the race -the rossoblù have shown that they have great quality from the median up. Stanciu (for him in the stands there were the Rossoblù President Sucu and Mircea Lucescu, coach of the Romanian national team of which the player is captain), confirmed himself dangerous on the placed and from the distance, while Valentin Carboni, who chose Genoa to relaunch, immediately scored with the goal that unlocked the match. In the next round, Genoa will challenge Empoli, but in the meantime the first official release of the Griffin confirmed the excellent pre -season closed by unbeaten for the rossoblù.
Pride Vicenza

For half an hour we have seen a challenge almost on an equal footing in Ferraris, with a nice Vicenza that beyond the double difference in category, has long granted a few spaces to a dangerous Genoa only when he managed to create the numerical superiority in attack. Then, however, before the interval, the quality of the individual rossoblù made the difference. First a perfect assist from Martin for Carboni, a breast stop on the fly and the argument of the Argentine who put the race downhill for Genoa. Then, at the end of the two minutes of recovery, a punishment from the left of the specialist Stanciu surprised Massolo inducing the error Benassai, in trouble to avoid the pressure of Vasquez. A Genoa on the pitch with the usual 4-2-3-1, with Marcandalli preferred to Ostigard, and Columbus first aims in place of Vitinha. But it is the trocar, in fact, that has proved to be decisive. Until the final minutes of the first half, the guests had managed to keep the field well, with great aggression, close exchanges and a very high defense, which allowed Gallo’s men to close the spaces to the hosts. Carboni had presented himself in the 12th minute with a left blocked by Massolo, the Venetians had responded with Morra. Central shot, parade of loyal. Just a little effort at the start for the rossoblù in search of verticalizations and little help from full -backs, too low to support the thrust on the outsiders. It is no coincidence that before the one-due Genoano the best opportunity had happened on the foot of Vitale (served by Morra), with a diagonal on the side of little.

In the second half, thanks to the double advantage, Genoa’s pressing climbed, which increased the turns of the engine, risking something only on the lounge of Caferri, close to two to one. Until the other pearl of the evening for the 3-0 final: Opening from Masini’s manual for Martin, ball in the middle for Carboni, bank for the Romanian and Gran right on the farthest pole. Standing Ovation of Ferraris, Stanciu has already taken Genoa.
