Marco Ottolini drives Genoa fans crazy

“We will give more than 100 percent. We know what we stand for and we will not let a single drop of sweat go to waste. Let’s move forward, all together, to get the result we want.” With these words Marco Ottolini, Genoa’s new Sporting Director, sent the Grifone fans into a frenzy. The statement was posted on Twitter by the club itself and the post got a lot of ‘likes’.

On the market: “The team is almost complete, players have arrived in the roles where graft was needed. We are not in a hurry to do what we lack, something will be done to try to raise the level. Now we will talk with the coach, in the coming days, to understand at the level of characteristics what we want to integrate.”

Despite the relegation, Genoa’s fans support the club tremendously, and the numbers prove it: the season ticket campaign is traveling fast and more than 14,000 coupons have already been snapped up. The Ligurians want to return to the A league immediately and the ownership is probing the market to give Blessin a few strong players: in the last few hours, there have been contacts with the entourage of Stephan El Shaarawy, who has already worn the Genoa jersey and could return to give his contribution to the team.
