Genoa President Enrico Preziosi claims Giuseppe Rossi will show “he’s from another planet”, while Gianluca Lapadula’s critics “don’t know anything about football.”
Rossi recently joined Genoa on a free transfer, although the former Fiorentina and Italy star is still a few weeks away from match fitness, whereas Lapadula’s big-money arrival from Milan has yielded just one goal.
“We’re well equipped in attack,” he told Telegenova.

Rossi recently joined Genoa on a free transfer, although the former Fiorentina and Italy star is still a few weeks away from match fitness, whereas Lapadula’s big-money arrival from Milan has yielded just one goal.
“We’re well equipped in attack,” he told Telegenova.
“We haven’t scored many goals, but we still have top forwards. Rossi’s a champion. The fact we could get him to recover would be a source of satisfaction and pride for us.
“I hope this run of bad luck will leave him and that he can return to the field. He’s a champion, a player from another planet.
“It;ll take another two or three weeks, but I think that in January, he’ll be available to the Coach.
“Lapadula? He’s a great striker who’s had some physical problems, but as soon as he’s in shape, he’ll show just how much he’s worth. Those who criticise him don’t know anything about football.
“January? If Rossi picks himself back up like we think he will, we’ll take a huge leap in quality. If not, we’ll be calm because we have enough quality.
“We may be missing something to support our attack, so we’re looking for some reinforcements in midfield.
“Signing for signing’s sake doesn’t make sense, so we’ll try to sign a player who can really help us.”
