Genoa, the fury of Alberto Gilardino
Alberto Gilardino, after the 5-1 defeat in Bergamo, finds no alibi for his Genoa: "At this moment the most we can give è very little. If we also add inattentions, we go out of the game, because è the surrender at 2-0 è unacceptable. It is difficult to comment on such a game against the Atalanta of this period. We were inside the match until 1-0, from the doubling onwards we were overpowered. The surrender dà the feeling of a fragile team: even with the organic and responsibility limits; on the field, the sorrow è great".
"From 2-0 onwards too many mental carelessness, the feeling of having abandoned the race è ugly. Granted the high quality of the opponent, we had to have the mental strength and team compactness to stay in the game – Gilardino continued -. Retegui è an area bomber and with a maestro like Gasperini he is doing exceptional things. Now they are enjoying him in Bergamo. He comes out with work by recovering as many players as possible. The team must be given few certainties, but clear".
Gilardino sees a light at the end of the tunnel: "Melegoni, away from the fields for so long, and Ekhator, who made the right movements, were the best in their remnant of the match. I also saw Norton well in his debut. We need balance and keep a certain kind of center of gravity: we have little leg to restart, we are struggling. Towards Bologna, we could also change the way we play to involve the forwards more".
On the trust of the societyà, the technician seems to have few doubts: "President Zangrillo said nice things about me. I am disappointed and bitter, but also charged and willing to get out together with the boys from this situation". Thoughts è to after the break: "It's not the last resort, it's only the eighth day: Fiorentina, Parma and Como will also be decisive and fundamental: there's an obligation to improve, we must want it and do it", Gilardino closes.
