"It will be a very tough match but we will have our fans covering our backs and this will be positive."
Alexander Blessin still has in his eyes the great party that a thousand fans gave to the team at the reopening of the sports center after two years of closure for covid- They did it to encourage the team in view of the away match in Verona.
There will be 3000 genoans on the Bentegodi steps.
"It was an exceptional gesture - underlined the coach -. It was also a sign for us to see that the fans, team and staff have come together and compacted in recent weeks. But clearly we have not yet achieved anything and we must continue to work. like this. There is no reason to be too confident and euphoric. But we want to maintain the euphoria.
Now you need to be focused to keep this path.
I am pleased that the players have taken the right path, but we must continue to work as we have done up to now. "
