“Then I reacted and I see retirement more far away now. I do what I love for Genoa and I decided to go ahead. I am training well and I am in the right place.”
A COVID outbreak hit the team back in October with 22 people among players and staff members who tested positive, including Criscito.
“It was something complicated to deal with,” Criscito admitted.
“I woke up in the morning, but I was unable to do anything at all. My teammates and I used to text each other on Whatsapp every day and our group has become more compact.”
