“The defeat to SPAL was painful, but we hope the reaction we showed against Torino can have a bigger impact on our season,” said the coach of their 7-0 victory.

“That 7-0 result was unusual and nobody expected it. It’s not as if you go to Torino and predict a 7-0 away win. As I said at the time, I’d rather we scored a couple of those goals in other much tighter games.

“We’re up against a Genoa side at the foot of the table that desperately needs points, but we can’t make mistakes now either. I met Davide Nicola some time ago, he did great things keeping Crotone in Serie A, a club that I am still very fond of.

“Genoa are a good side and it’s a decisive moment of the season for them, so we need to be consistent now and lay the foundations for our campaign. If we win tomorrow, we can go over 40 points.”

The Grifone signed Atalanta defender Andrea Masiello on transfer deadline day, so they’ll meet again just hours after his departure.

“Our former players always seem to score against us! I think him, as he was a symbol of our Atalanta and there are many games where he was decisive. He overcame tests of credibility, of love, he already worked with me at Genoa and I hope he can give that team a fundamental contribution too.”

Atalanta are pushing Roma for fourth place and preparing for the Champions League Round of 16, so how high can their ambitions really go?

“Our Scudetto would be to qualify for the Champions League again. We believe and will give all we have to achieve those objectives.”
