Genoa, Gilardino’s deputy: “Eighth consecutive useful result, we are happy, we remain balanced”

Davide Nicola, the great ex against one of the loves of his football career, Genoa. The Gila’s declarations at the end of the Castellani match.

Genoa arrived in Empoli after 4 draws and 3 wins in their last 7 league matches. Having won the matches against Salernitana and Lecce, the Grifone was expected in Empoli today. Zero to zero and a goal disallowed, the Genoese result.

The words of Gaetano Caridi

Gila disqualified, here are the declarations of the Ligurian assistant coach: “We did well to put ourselves at the same level as Empoli, it was a match approached in the right way, we were well placed on the pitch, we created, we had opportunities, but despite not scoring we achieved the eighth consecutive useful result against a team that had done very well in the last few games. Our moment? The coach and the boys work hard during the week, it’s a group that wants to be together, the credit must be divided between all the components, even the club are close to us but the championship is long and there is still a long way to go.”

Caridi again: “I spoke with Mister Gilardino, he was very happy, he complimented the boys, we knew it was a tough match against a grumpy team, they are more compact, they have good players and they are good at counterattacks, we were good to limit them. Malinovskiy? The coach wanted to make that change to have an extra striker up front, we have balance to maintain but we can also change during the match, a player like Vitinha has arrived who is important so we have solutions, even if we have to remain balanced. Retegui? He did well, he kept the ball, we are happy, he could have scored before the disallowed goal. The next one without De Winter due to suspension? The boys will be ready.”
