Patrick Vieira winks at Mario Balotelli
Patrick Vieira, Genoa’s new coach, è introduced himself at a press conference: "It was between the club and me very quickly. When I heard that there was a chance to come and coach a big club, you could not say no. The willà to work and do well is there. I found a group that took great pride in their work, I saw a group that has a desire to do well for the companyà".
"It è not easy to lose a coach who was good with the players, he had a lot of respect in them and that will never change,” added the new Rossoblù coach. I think Gilardino was a coach respected by the fans and players. He's been a great player and will never change. Now we have to look ahead and see what to do to win games. I am happy these days in seeing the desire to work and learn".
The French coach reunites with Mario Balotelli, whom he coached in his Nice days: "Mario I know him very well, è a player and a person I like. He has to keep working and be available to the team, helping them to do well and win. He's an important player but he has to keep working".
On Sunday the Grifone will challenge Cagliari: "È a very important match. We must not forget that there will be more after that. On Sunday we will give everything to make a good match, I already know that everything will not be perfect but I think what the players showed me made me happy".
"Now we have to work on confidence becauseé a group, without results, lacks energy. In the group there'è qualityà. It's a group that will beè stronger when the players are available" concluded Vieira.
