Genoa: Mateo Retegui shows up with a bang

During the press conference to present himself as a new player of Genoa, Mateo Retegui said, “I am happy. I am in a great team with a great coach. I spoke with Milito and he told me that Genoa is a beautiful club with great fans. There were also other clubs about me, however, the best choice for me was Genoa.”

He then talked about his new coach Gilardino and his position in attack, “He talked to me about soccer. He is a great coach, he was a great player for the national team, and for me it is an honor that he is my coach. I hope to learn a lot from him and from the whole team. I talked with the coach, I adapt to what the coach tells me and what the team needs. However, it is the coach’s decision whether to play with one striker or two.”

“It is an honor to play in Serie A. Genoa was a solution. I am happy to be at Genoa, it is a dream to play in the national team. I have to train a lot. Thanks to Roberto and all the staff who have always spent good words for me,” Retegui continued about the link between choosing Genoa and the national team.

“My new club has a great history with great fans, I am happy to defend these colors. My great-grandfather was from Genoa: it’s destiny for me to play here. I played in Tigre until last Thursday, I am in a very good condition. I hope to learn a lot from this team, to be a protagonist match after match,” concluded the new acquisition of the Rossoblù.
