Genoa-Monza LIVE on the pitch
The defeat against Inter at Genoa still stings in a match marked by the penalty in favor of the Nerazzurri which brought about a lot of controversy.
However, for Gilardino, the anger at not having collected even a point after a great performance can become energy for tomorrow night's match at home against Monza.
"The feeling these days is one of anger. A feeling that we have to carry with us into the match until tomorrow evening - declared Gilardino -. Having a second half like that and not getting a positive result makes us angry. We have to transform this feeling into energy positive for the race".
Facing Monza, they are just three points ahead.
"An organized and proactive team. A team that also has the possibility of changing the tactical model both from the start and during the match. They have many offensive options and a lot of talent. It will be a very open match and for our part we have archived the game of another evening where we spent a lot both physically and mentally. I told the boys to have a strong ambition and to play the match from Genoa."
With Vasquez disqualified, Gilardino will also have to do without Haps and Martin, "fatigued", while Malinovskyi has recovered from a flu attack.
But the wait is above all for Gudmundsson who has appeared to decline in recent matches.
"It is physiological in a season for a player to have moments at the top and to have normal moments. But Gudmundsson's normal moments can be decisive. We expect from Albert and I expect a lot tomorrow evening. He must not focus on the goal but on the plays individuals and for the team by being ready."
