Genoa, De Rossi after Parma's 2-1 loss: "I'm sad, angry". No talk of sacking

Genoa loses 2-1 away to Parma in the direct clash for survival, and the standings begin to cause concern: just one point collected in five league matches. Daniele De Rossi, after the final whistle at the Tardini, does not hide and shoulders responsibility for the negative moment, as reported by Il Secolo XIX and Corriere dello Sport.

De Rossi's words

"Two analyses need to be made," the coach explained. "The moment is what the standings tell us, one point and negative results. I take that on myself, I'm responsible for it." De Rossi, however, defends his team's performance: "As for the match, I don't think we played it the wrong way, we didn't deserve to lose."

The coach admits his state of mind without filters: "I feel like a sad, disappointed and sorry man, also a bit angry." When asked about his future, De Rossi does not mention sacking: "I feel trust and human closeness. This is our job and we know how it works, results are easy to read. The club will do its own thinking, and that's right."

Dressing room and fans

On the dressing room, De Rossi assures that he has not lost his grip on the group, but acknowledges the need to work to better integrate the new arrivals. Words also for the Genoa environment: "The Genova piazza is affectionate but also tough, as is right: it's a shame to give our fans football sorrows. We try to lower the level of tension."

On the formation, the coach clarifies that the switch to a four-man defense was not an option for the Parma match, but could become one in the future: "Playing with four defenders is a job, it's not enough to put two fullbacks and two center-backs." On the international break, which arrives at a delicate moment, De Rossi hopes it can help the team regain form and unity, even if some players will be absent for their national team commitments.

As GenovaToday reports, the Parma defeat reopens the debate on the Giallorossi bench, with De Rossi remaining in the balance after a complicated start to the season.
