Genoa, Alberto Zangrillo full-circle: from Alberto Gilardino to Albert Gudmundsson
The words of Alberto Zangrillo
Alberto Zangrillo, president of Genoa, gave a lengthy interview to Radio Sportiva in which he spoke about Alberto Gilardino's future and that of Albert Gudmundsson. "A man of other times in soccer, between us there's a relationship of great esteem, I believe a lot in him and I have always supported and protected him – he admitted about the Grifone coach. We had talked during the week, we had confided in each other that the one with Cagliari was an important match to consolidate and give meaning to the work done during the season".
"Future? È in place a fluid and very proactive discourse between Alberto, his attorney and the ds Ottolini, all in the light of day – added the president of the Rossoblù -. There'è who wants to get to the scoop first by putting in difficulty one side or the other, but I reiterate that I trust Gilardino and I would like to continue with him, after whiché forò I am not the master president and I leave the technicians free to act".
Chapter Gudmundsson: "È a young guy, serious and, è needless to deny it, he wants to cultivate ambitions that we at this time are not able to guarantee. He has a national and international market, è correct for both parties to make assessments, what matters è the end result".
"Inter? I don’t deal with these things, let’s let the footballer dream and leave it open to us to operate correctly in the market. We have learned to love our boys, you can make good operations and think that in a few years Albert can say 'if it was not for Genoa I was not here'".
Finally, Zangrillo also spoke about Mateo Retegui: "The mere fact that he is an Argentine oriundo who has è come to the attention of the national team coaches should say a lot about his qualities. He comes from two difficult seasons, but è he is a complete center forward and è it is nice that the national team can count on youngsters like him and Scamacca. I’m rooting for Mateo in the Azzurro and I know he won’t disappoint me ".
