Olivier Ntcham has surprised Genoa Coach Gian Piero Gasperini with his ‘confidence of an accomplished player.’
The 19-year-old has joined the Rossoblu on loan from Manchester City and has impressed Gasperini in training.
The Coach also discussed new signing Goran Pandev and revealed that Diego Perotti will be on the bench for tomorrow’s Serie A clash with Fiorentina.
"Unfortunately, last week I’ve only been working with a dozen players,” he said at a pre-match Press conference today.

"Unfortunately, last week I’ve only been working with a dozen players,” he said at a pre-match Press conference today.
“We are convinced by their condition, but the injured players still have to recover.
“The surprise has been Ntcham who is 19 years old and has played with the confidence of an accomplished player.
"I must say that in the last game against Verona, Pandev seemed a bit tired, but he played well against Palermo.
“Goals are important for a striker but they aren’t the only thing. I’m pleased with him. He’s coming off a difficult season.
“De Maio and Dzemaili have recovered. Perotti will start from the bench because we want him to be at his best for the next few matches.
"The high number of season tickets sold is a great success. We feel the enthusiasm that surrounds the team and the match against Verona was appreciated. We want to feel these emotions again.”
