In the 12th round of Serie A this Saturday, Genoa will challenge Cagliari away from home. Genoa's new coach De Rossi attended the pre-match press conference.

Previously, Serie A had entered a hiatus due to national team competitions, and now the international players have returned to the team.

We are proud that our players can participate in their respective national teams around the world, and I have previously trained with the players who stayed at the club, focusing on our tactical principles and areas that need more time to improve. Now the international players have returned to the team with different moods. Some players are happy, but others are slightly disappointed.

Cagliari, your opponent in this game, is your relegation opponent.

Even if you are in the relegation zone now, it does not necessarily mean that you will still be in the relegation zone in May next year. This can be called a crucial game, but we have to treat every game with the same attitude. Every game is crucial, but we must always maintain our mentality. I would like to see a game where we have a lot of fighting spirit on the road.

When you became the coach of Genoa, you were immediately welcomed by the whole city.

I received a great welcome. I've been walking around the local area these days and I've met a lot of Genoa fans who are very enthusiastic and trust me. I want to repay that trust.

Currently, Genoa has only 7 points, ranking third from the bottom in the Serie A standings.

In my first press conference after taking office, I said that the team did not deserve such a ranking. Unfortunately, in my first game in charge, we still failed to improve our ranking. But it became very difficult for opponents to score goals.

What is the current injury situation in the Genoa team?

Some players are not in very good physical condition, and we have some problems on the defensive line. But Sabelli has returned, and today Otoya will also return.

In the last round of Serie A against Florence, Colombo ended his scoring drought

I found that he was in good condition. The forward will have more confidence after scoring a goal. He is very serious in training and his attitude has always been positive.
