After falling to Parma at home, Genoa now hosts Juventus at the Marassi. While on paper the challenge seems more than difficult, Genoa manager Cesare Prandelli spoke to the press leading up to tomorrow's match.
"We're taking on a very strong team, but in football there are two phases. When you have the ball, you can try and do important things. And this is a match that could give us this knowledge, when we have the ball I want to see a courageous team. I still haven't digested the loss against Parma. After playing a certain type of football and not being able to win, I prefer to take a counter attack extra and not bring a result that didn't give us anything. Juventus seems invincible, but there's never been a perfect team. We need to take advantage of what they allow."
"Di Bello? I've never seen a decision changed, it's useless to be blatant in complaints, but we're the team most penalized by VAR. It's a valid tool and will go revisited. Kouamépiù close to the door? These are situations discussed but I don't confirm anything. Biraschi still out? Everyone is working well, it's clear when I decide to play Pereira because I want depth and running and it's not by chance that we made twenty crosses. Absences? The only one that won't be there is Favelli. Have we prepared a cage for Ronaldo? Thinking about caging in one player is something impossible for any team, we need to think about the collective group."
