The former Grifone striker compares the German to Scoglio and talks about the rossoblù prospects
Genoa – The punch under the North, the visceral and straightforward relationship with the players. And an aggressive football, perhaps not spectacular but capable of awakening the pride of the Genoa players. Alexander Blessin has not yet won his first match as a Genoa manager but in just over a month he has unlocked memories that were believed to be lost. To many rossoblù fans he reminds Franco Scoglio, the Professor who led the recovery of the Grifone at the end of the nineties and that paved the way for the first great European Genoa.
«He immediately understood how Genoa should be played. He immediately understood what the spirit of the Griffin must be, what the fans want to see. If it had come a little earlier we would now be close to salvation»Sighs from Montevideo Pato Aguilera. Who still has in his eyes the disastrous derby last December, which he witnessed live. «That team didn’t fight, you can’t lose a derby like this without a fight. Now the team is fighting and Blessin is good. Of course, Scoglio is inimitable and he misses a Skuhravy up front, the team doesn’t score but we have to trust him. He was able to give defensive solidity, the team is alive and fighting: the rossoblù people like this very much And we must have faith in the new ownership and in the president Zangrillo, who is lost from Genoa: I will be at their side even if we have to relegate ».
The next 18 March will be 30 years since Liverpool’s victory and Pato is preparing to celebrate them, perhaps with Genoa having resumed the march towards safety.
