Malesani dedicates win over Lazio to Preziosi and all-praise for Jorquera: Serie A news
Genoa manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 to Club President, Enrico Preziosi.
The Marassi club picked up an important 2-1 away win against Edy Reja’s men on Sunday, September 18th, 2011. The manager received huge criticism from the President for drawing the opening game of the season 2-2 against
the Serie A newcomers, Atalanta. Preziosi slammed the tactics of his manager after the game and demanded more fighting mentality from his men.
Malesani revealed that at the time of his appointment as a manager of the club he demanded some time from the President. The manager is confident that his team will take a lot of confidence from the win at Rome and will carry themselves
forward from here.
The 57-year-old replaced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Davide-c10638 Ballardini as the Genoa head coach before the season and the tactician is proud to manage the club. The former Bologna coach admitted that he is happy with the way things have started for his team
under him but believes there is so much more to do.
Talking to the reporters Malesani said, “I dedicate the win to President Preziosi. I came here because he chose me and I am proud of that fact. We have a good rapport and are working side by side to help this project grow. However,
in order to be on the field the way that I want, I did say it’d take a little time. Even more time will be needed to change our mentality.”
The former Udinese star also took time to praise the new signing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristobal-Jorquera-c9635, and believes that the Chilean international was instrumental in his team’s success in the game. Jorquera provided much needed creativity to the
Rossoblu team and provided the assist for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rodrigo-c31437 Palacio’s goal.
“I was the one who insisted he stay in the squad. He knows how to play cross-field passes with a quality I have rarely seen in my life."
Genoa will host Catania in their next league game on September 21, 2011.
