A few days ago, Genoa sporting director Marco Ottolini once again reiterated in an interview with "Nineteenth Century Newspaper" that despite the difficult start to the season, the club still has confidence in the team.

About the transfer market

■Ottolini said: "If adjustments need to be made in January, we We will take the necessary actions. We are determined to find the right solution with the coach to achieve better results. We will analyze it in good times and bad times, just like the missed penalty last Sunday."

■About Korne's missed penalty kick against Parma

Ottolini said frankly: "When I saw Corne take the penalty kick, I was actually very relieved, because I usually see Maxwell's way of taking penalty kicks very confidently. As a result, he didn't score this time, but many great stars have also missed penalty kicks."

■ Finally, Ottolini once again expressed his support for coach Vieira.

Ottolini said: "Relegation battle? This is a reality. We are all working hard for this goal. We have all the conditions needed to achieve the goal. Some people outside are pessimistic now, but we must remain calm because there are 31 games left in the league. We have a system and an identity. This team can adapt to a variety of tactical systems. We need to find a balance. At present, there is a complete tacit understanding between Vieira and I."
