Genoa, Alberto Gilardino announces three absences with Torino
The words of Alberto Gilardino on the eve of Genoa-Torino
Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino presented the challenge against Torino in a press conference: "Definitely a galliard match because it matches in the characteristics of the team we are going to face and in ours. We need to play a galliard game, we have the will and determination to go and counter Torino blow by blow because only in this way can we put them in difficulty.
"Toro è a team that is physically strong and structured to be in the upper echelons of the standings – he added -. They have choices and a compact group. We face a team that in the last two-three weeks has made an important path even when there’s been a change of module. Those who play have choices of structure and quality. We know who we are going to face but on our part there must always be a desire to amaze".
So he announced three absences: "Ekuban è out due to a muscle soreness these days, Thorsby è not available as well as Puscas è unavailable. Numerically we are a little bit in emergency, I trust who will be there. Malinovskyi had a small problem, I have a doubt but he should be available".
On Gudmundsson: "He has to maintain this level of performance the team relies a lot on his qualities. Like him, Messias and Malinosvkyi all players who can really make the jump in qualityà to the team. At the same time we expect much more from Retegui. He has the desire to find himself and there’è the will’ to find him again. We are waiting for him becauseé we need him and there’è the willè of the team to put him in the best conditions but also on his part to do something more".
"I have a lot of confidence in societyà. Every day I talk and ask. Realityà says this becauseè I know very well that there’è the needà and the desire to try to improve this team where there is the possibilityà to be able to improve it. We cannot afford to disrupt the team, in attack tomorrow for example the first choice è Retegui and the alternative è Fini who è a 2006. In defense we are making evaluations on a possible arrival as well as in the middle of the field. My will è è this, the matches are so many, the other teams will surely reinforce themselves and the race will è be more and more arduous and uphill" he commented on the market.
