Genoa-Como, Gilardino’s words

—

Gilardino analyzed the performance as follows: “Today was certainly a complicated match, because they have many quality players who are good at one-on-one. Como is one of the best teams I have faced since I have been hereshe also played openly in Naples, Turin, and everywhere she went to play. Probably seeing the numbers they deserved it. We have to give credit to the boys for managing to stay in the game and being able to bring home this result. We also managed it well in Parma, I’m satisfied with this and we need to start again from these aspects.”

On the psychological aspect: “We were a bit loaded with expectations, it must be said that the environment also expected a different championship. But we must be aware of the moment of great difficulty and emergency on a numerical level. Being aware means playing to save yourselfthen maybe I hope that one day we can talk about something else. At home we are perhaps a little more predictable, we must have more quality, more control of the match and we must be more clear-headed. However, the opponent today was not easy to face.”

And then on the choices in the middle of the field: “Thorsby and Frendrup they covered 12 kilometers 3 days ago, they are our engines and we can’t do without them. We need them in the middle of the pitch, and it’s normal for players like that Miretti o Pereiro ask yourself something else. The truth is that we are missing someone like that Messiahwho is the only one in our squad who has the tear in the middle of the field, as well as Ekubanwhich can hurt up front.”
