Alberto Gilardino categorical about Gudmundsson

Alberto Gilardino speaks out on Gudmundsson

Straight from the Moena retreat, Alberto Gilardino gave a long interview to the microphones of Sky Sport. "È it is normal that the fans dream, but we and the team must do it too – he began -. We have to restart from what we created last season. Compared to last year we start with a more complete framework. The base è solid not only from the tactical and physical aspect. From a strong group on a human level, we bring out good things".

He then spoke clearly about the future of Albert Gudmundsson: "I expected to have him in training camp: è a Genoa player and è a professional. He è happy here and at the moment we are holding on to him. The roster and the main names? Having players of quality and who make a difference within matches for a coach è indispensable. They are also societal choices, Retegui and Gudmundsson are from Genoa and when we will also have Retegui and Vitinha available we will work together with them".

"As for the right lane we have a very reliable player like Sabelli. We then managed to get Zanoli: we believe in his qualities" added the Grifone coach.

Finally, he commented on the goalkeeper issue: "Right now I have entrusted but we are looking for one with important characteristics. I hope he can arrive as soon as possible becauseé the date of the first official game is getting closer and closer. I was lucky to have two important goalkeepers like Semper and Martinez, then I chose to have Josep play. Goalkeepers with Martinezè characteristics are not easy to find: we are looking for one who can also play with his feet".
