“Genoa have good individual talent, because they have a good striker in Pavoletti, who’s a player who has developed late in a footballing sense but is now doing extraordinary things,” he said at today’s Press conference.
“Then it’s always very complicated to play Gasperini’s teams because Genoa give a lot of intensity in the match, but we must win tomorrow so as to not lose ground to Napoli.
“As for rotation, I need to evaluate today and tomorrow’s training sessions, how everyone is doing, who has recovered, and the important thing is that everyone is fit.
“I’ll definitely try to rotate Morata, Dybala and Zaza in the next two games, either from the start or during the match.
“On Sunday I didn’t bring on Zaza because he took a knock in training and I preferred not to risk him, but he’s available and could play tomorrow although I haven’t decided yet. Bonucci and Marchisio are doing well.
“To catch up with Napoli before we play each other we need them to drop points and we need to win both our games.
“The important thing is to arrive at the match a maximum of two points behind them. And then we’ll see after we play them, there will be many more games and the season is still long. Like I said a few months ago and still say now, the last six games will become fundamental for the Scudetto fight.
“I think Sarri should be happy with what he’s doing, he’s on top of the league and has good statistics. Napoli are a great team with one of the best strikers in Europe, they have a great Coach so I think they must be happy with what they’re doing.”
