Genoa falls in Verona, the road to safety increasingly uphill

VERONA. Genoa’s streak of useful results stops after eight days (one win and seven draws), under the new coach Blessin. The Ligurians lose 1-0 away against Verona. To decide the postponement of the 31st matchday of Serie A is a goal from Simeone after only 5 minutes. In the standings the yellow-blues climb to 45 in ninth position, while the rossoblùs remain stationary in eighteenth position together with Venezia with 22 points.

The game is unlocked immediately with the Argentine striker who puts the seal on the match thanks to the invention of Bessa, able to fish it inside the Griffin area. Cholito is good at taking a position and scoring in a split by putting the ball behind Sirigu. The reaction of Genoa comes with Portanova who kicks well from the left finding the intervention of Montipò, good at moving away by blocking on the ground. The Scaligeri could double at least in a couple of occasions, with Sirigu who, however, decides to close the posts. At 22 ‘he performs a half miracle on Caprari’s shot for a spin, deflecting the ball on the post. Again the former PSG protagonist in the 32nd minute, again on a shot by Caprari, with an instinctive intervention.

At the start of the second half Blessin tries to change by sending Yeboah forward, looking for that offensive weight that he never felt in the first half. Even in midfield Galdames enters for a dull Sturaro and Verona must find its structure. In reality, however, the first shot is from Tudor’s men with Caprari catching Simeone in the area but without the Argentine finding the right third time to hit the ball well with his head. Right shortly after he tries the overhead kick after having controlled a good ball on the fly, but the conclusion is too weak. The real turning point for the Grifone could arrive in the 68th minute with the substitute Piccoli, but the flying conclusion, after the hole in Casale, is very weak: a real goal eaten for the Genoa center forward. Hellas struggled to find the superiority that was more evident in the first half and returned to shooting after more than half an hour in the second half with the substitute Hongla still neutralized by Sirigu. The Griffin is in control of the game but pays the usual offensive sterility, with Piccoli who cannot be more concrete than Destro was in the first part of the match. Last phase of the game decidedly confused, with the game that does not give other emotions until the triple whistle of Fourneau.
