On the eve of a very challenging match against Palladino's Nerazzurri, the Genoa coach spoke to DAZN, highlighting intensity, duels, and attitude as the keys to the game.
An extremely tough challenge awaits Genoa, as they face Atalanta led by Raffaele Palladino, a team revitalized by a change on the bench and already victorious against the Rossoblù in the recent Coppa Italia clash. Less than three weeks after that encounter, the Ferraris becomes the stage for a new high-tension confrontation, where the bar is inevitably raised.
Just minutes before the match, Daniele De Rossi clarified the type of performance required from his players: “Against such strong teams, we must reach a high level of perfection, and I think we can do it. Tonight will be a back-and-forth of duels and second balls.” Words that depict a physical, gritty game to be played with maximum focus.
The Rossoblù coach then praised the team's spirit: “I am loving every single tackle from the guys, the attitude is right: I believe the team resembles me a bit. Without the ball, we must be like this, football is moving in this direction.” A clear identity, based on aggression and sacrifice.
Finally, a comment on Ekuban: “I am realizing he is a serious player, someone I can rely on. When you play against teams that play man-to-man, you have to exploit their uncertainties.” Precise choices for a match that allows no lapses.
