Patrick Vieira, coach of the Ligurian team, spoke to the press ahead of the match against Parma on Sunday at 3:00 PM at the Ferraris. An update on unavailable players and an analysis of the opponents.
The French coach expressed himself about the opponents as follows: “Every match is important. The answer may seem a bit cliché, but today the challenge we have prepared for this week is the one against Parma. Then, the next one will be the most important. We are following our own path, we want to grow as a team, but this match is as important as all the others until the end. Our goal is to stay in Serie A and we have to play the right match both tactically and physically. We need to play a consistent game to win. We are up against a solid team defensively. They have two dangerous strikers in the box. They have a quality goalkeeper who likes to play long balls. We need to be organized; we are facing a team that will come to Genoa to play their game.”
On Carboni and Colombo: “You mentioned these two players, but there is also Gronbaek who can still do more for the team. We have to keep working and the structure needs to be right to help them perform. From an attitude point of view, these players are doing well, we need to give them a bit of confidence and continue to believe in this project and in our style of play. Because what we are missing is a win to take a step forward.”
On unavailable players: “Messias and Stanciu will not be available.”
On Ostigard, former Napoli player: “Ostigard has trained with the team all week, we’ll wait until tomorrow to see, but as for his participation in Sunday’s match, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Finally, Vieira concludes with a question about Malinovsky: “He is an important player for us because he brings quality in the final thirty meters, he provides passes and shots on goal. However, when he has the ball, we need to push forward offensively and create those passing lanes for him. When the team structure is right, we bring out the quality of a player like Ruslan.”
