Genoa, Rossi: "My misfortune robbed me of a lot of things, but not my passion. I'll be back to top form soon"

Giuseppe Rossi is poised to return to the field in a Genoa jersey. He will wear the same number 49 on his jersey, which is the same number that he wore at Fiorentina before his injury. He spoke at his press conference at the Genoa Museum and Store: "Misfortune? Yes, but I don't like that word. Nothing robbed me of my passion for this sport and I am certain that I am able to get back into form this time. This was an easy choice because [Genoa] is an ambitious club and share the same ambitions as me. There was contact a couple of years ago, but this time there was a quick negotiation and we quickly found an agreement. Before accepting, I had to think about everything: there is a great atmosphere here and a great fanbase that support the players on the field. I have always enjoyed playing at the Marassi and I will continue to enjoy there now."
