Football, De Rossi: ‘I hoped to beat Roma, Genoa deserves to stay up’

Turin, 8 March (LaPresse) – "These are the facts, I hoped it would end like this. I am here to do my job, a job I care about in a place I am starting to care about a lot. The players and the club deserve to stay up. I can't give 99.9% of myself, I have to give everything. I'm happy, it was a very intense, committed and focused match. They did well. If they give everything, I can't give any less, whether it's Roma or any other team." Genoa coach Daniele De Rossi said this to Sky Sport after the 2-1 win over Roma. "I think the men who played from the start played an excellent game, but we won it with the substitutes. It's no coincidence that Vitinha scored. This is a group of decent men and professional lads, we deserved this joy, we needed these three points like we needed bread,‘ he continued. ’Roma are strong and if you don't attack them, they pull off plays. I was very afraid of Malen, I didn't know him, I find him an incredible player, one of the strongest in the league."
