Genoa, Pandev: "Rossi is a great player. Napoli and the city deserve to win the Scudetto"

Macedonian striker Goran Pandev is ready to meet again his former coach Gian Piero Gasperini as Genoa face Atalanta in tonight's Serie A clash. "He wanted me when I was at Galatasaray - says Pandev to La Gazzetta dello Sport - but the deal didn't go trough because Genoa didn't have any free slot left for extra-UE players. But in the summer window we managed to finalize the transfer. I had also other offers but I had given my word and I wanted to keep it". The experienced striker discussed also the club's newest signing Giuseppe Rossi and the Scudetto race: "Rossi has still a lot to offer to the team, we are waiting for him with open arms. He is a great player. Scudetto? Inter have the advantage given by not playing European cups. Lazio is a surprise, but only to people who didn't know Inzaghi. Napoli is going through a rough time but they play the best football in Serie A. I know how the city craves for the Scudetto and only for that they would deserve to win it".
