The former OM coach does not have his words: “Very satisfied, because the Genoa is a serious team, which runs, fights and who have experienced a moment that we know today. We did two or three training sessions, there was clearly a little enthusiasm, but in two or three days, psychologically speaking, it will be necessary to work hard, because everything is different, the system but also the style. Now, we may play a little more vertically, we will have to adapt, have a different intensity, but the boys have given everything. I'm happy, we did a lot, others no, but it was a deserved match, also happy for the supporters, we played with heart, everything. Now we're going to rest a day and start working seriously, a full week with everyone available». Juventus is ready to hit hard.
