How do you evaluate Platini’s statements?

The numbers, despite everything, say more about the networks made. Still not scoring a little too little?

It will be very important for us to do what we are doing, but there will be other types of games. We are doing well, we have a good mentality: even those who played last night are fine, I have all the squad available. Let’s go and close the first round, at that moment we can take stock. But we are doing well “.

How is Pessina? Could Miranchuk play?
“Tomorrow I have some choice, it will be conditioned by the matches against Udinese and Milan. Everyone has recovered, even Caldara and Pasalic. This gives us confidence. It is difficult to make predictions on Pasalic, he will restart with some pieces of the match. I will bring to the bench he will be available. The defense is doing very well, we are playing with great attention. There is also the skill of the opponent and the attackers. I think at this moment we have a good defensive attention, compared to the central part of the season we are doing well “.

Miranchuk?
“He has had a series of vicissitudes, between injury and Covid he has been out for a long time. The characteristics are those, in my opinion he can also be deputy Ilicic, but the characteristics are what we have seen. The goal, for him too, will be that. to have a certain continuity. He has shown some very important qualities, I have to adapt to his characteristics. The important thing is that he can have the right flexibility “.

Could you think about ending your career at Genoa tomorrow?
“You have to live in the present, I’m very happy with what I experienced in Genoa. I have a house nearby, I follow the vicissitudes of the team a lot. Genoa will always be a part of me, this year they will be able to build a team that can do well. without too many apprehensions. I hope that the public can return, it greatly enhances the team’s performance. “

Maehle? Can Atalanta be an example team to the others?
“Atalanta is a team that has done well in recent years, it is an honor for us to be a reference to other teams. Maehle played a good game, it’s not easy to play with his personality. He definitely has the chance to fit in, the conditions are good “.

Ballardini and Gasperini are the two most popular coaches at Genoa.
“I am loved much more (laughs, ed). Ballardini has made small miracles, this year he has even more time. He has a valid squad, I think Genoa can do better. Hopefully not from tomorrow.”

How do you rate this phase of the championship?
“It is difficult, in all areas it becomes more and more balanced. It will probably be an elimination match, there are many teams in a few points. At the end of the first round we can make a point on what we have done”.

Melegoni and his goal at Juve?
“I’m happy, he made his debut with us when he was 17, against Sampdoria. He has had a series of heavy injuries, I’m happy that Genoa has taken him, I hope the goal scored can give a boost to his career.”

Winning tomorrow will be very important, we can reach an interesting share. We are concentrated, we will have the quarter-final of the Italian Cup. , we have to stay in all competitions “.

More difficult with Genoa or with Udine?
“I say Genoa since we play tomorrow. We know the difficulty of the match, we know what we have to do. I see the right attention to continue this positive streak.”

Pessina?
“I’m pretty calm, but I have to get feedback from today’s training. Yesterday, for example, he didn’t train.”

There are many direct clashes on this day.
“It’s not that I don’t look at the standings, I think about Genoa. If we win the standings it becomes good, regardless of what the others do. Our concentration must only be on tomorrow’s game. It will be essential for us to continue on this streak. Not we have to get caught up in the euphoria, we have to put on the pitch what we have done in the last few games. We have to bring out the best in everyone, we are in a hot phase. We play continuously, we will play four games in ten days.
