The striker currently under contract with Genoa, however, is not è worried: "I know I have to remain calm. I have to keep my feet on the ground and keep working. I demand a lot from myself, and I can improve in everything. Scamacca è a very good striker and he has great qualities; making comparisons between us è però something I don" like".
Finally, some confessions about ct Spalletti. "Thereò that he asks me more frequently è to help the team, even when we do not have possession of the ball. I have the task of pressing the defenders, but of course the most important thing remains scoring goals. And I want to score, always. When I can’t, I get angry, so I always try", stressed Retegui.
