Genoa Club Amsterdam

Last Sunday we met our Belgium friends of Genoa Club Bruxelles in the city-center of Amsterdam. After a lunch (with beer and a lot of old stories of course) in the famous Jordaan-area of Amsterdam we went to the house of G.C. A’dam member Ezio Pesce to watch the topmatch Genoa – A.C. Milan on tv. Both supportersclubs were present with 5 members and everybody was sure that after the victory against Juventus we would also beat Milan in Marassi. After 32 minutes Luca Antonelli headed the corner of Diego Perotti behind goalkeeper Lopez of Milan and the neighbours of Ezio heard us all scream: 1-0. In the 2nd half Milan tried to score the equalizer but they only got half of a chance of Bonavetura who missed. After the victory that was celebrated with white wine and (of course) limoncello we went to the Pancake-bakery to end the very nice meeting of the Belgium and Dutch Griffins. The next meeting is in March when the Olandesi go to Bruxelles and in May both supportersclubs go to hometome Genova to play the 7th United in the Name of Genoa tournament and to visit Genoa-Inter.

Luca Antonelli scores against Milan: 1-0

Believe it or not but our Genoa is 3rd in the standings of Serie A after 14 matches. After the 1-1 draw at home against Empoli (Bertolacci) and the victory in Bentegodi against  Chievo (1-2 by Matri and Pinilla) we have beaten Juventus in Marassi by a goal of Luca Antonini in the 94th minute. Another victory in Udine(2-4 with goals of Marchese, Falque, Matri and Kucka), 1-1 draws against Cagliari (own goal of Rossettini) and at home against Palermo (Antonelli) and a 0-3 victory in Cesena (Matri, Antonelli and Burdisso) brought us already on the 4th position in the standings close behind Napoli. Last Sunday our friends of Naples draw 2-2 against Empoli and the header of Luca Antonelli gave us the 1-0 victory against Milan, so we are now third in the standings behind Juventus and Roma. Next Sunday we play at home against A.S. Roma.

our best player so far this season: Diego Perotti, supported by Gasp

     

Genoa started the season 2014/2015 very good with 2 victories against Lazio (1-0 in Marassi) and Parma (1-2 in Parma), 2 draws in the away-matches against Fiorentina     (0-0) and Hellas Verona (2-2) and 2 defeats in Luigi Ferraris against Napoli (1-2 in the 94th minute) and Sampdoria (0-1). Unfortunately the derby was lost by an irregular goal and the homematch against our friends of Napoli by a goal in the 94th and last minute.

  

Genoa has ended the 7th season in a row in Serie A with a 4-2 defeat against Sassuolo (goals of Calaiò and Gilardino, his 15th) and a 1-0 victory against A.S. Roma at Marassi with a goal of Fetfatzidis (see fotos). We reached a total of 44 points and the 14th position of the standings. Not a very remarkably season of our Griffins with only a few highlights: victories against Sampdoria (0-3) & Inter (1-0), the return of Gasperini and the “born” of the youngsters Mattia Perin and Stefano Sturaro in Serie A. This summer 3 Genoa-players are active at the Worldcup in Brasil: Mattia Perin (Italy, but National coach Prandelli forgot Gilardino), Sime Vrsaljko (Croatia) and Ioannis Fetfatzidis (Greece). We wish them a lot of succes and hope that all 3 stay with us next season.

The line-up against Bologna

The last 2 seasons Genoa played very good in the last matches because there was the concrete danger of relegation to Serie B. This year Mr. Gasperini lead us to an easy position in the middle of the standings far arway of the relegationzone. Of course without the possibility of reaching European football and without the danger of relegation you still have to fight for every point. Genoa did fight against Bologna but not with the passion which usually makes us a very hard team to beat in our Luigi Ferraris stadium. On the other hand Bologna is in big relegationproblems and they need every point. The concurrents of Bologna did win their matches againt teams that just as Genoa have nothing to play for: Catania-Roma 4-1 and Fiorentina-Sassuolo 3-4. Comparing to these 2 matches Genoa played a descent match, but especially in Luigi Ferraris we expect more of our Rossoblu team. Next week we play in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo another team that needs every point to stay in Serie A. With another draw Genoa does not influence the standings in a bad way like Roma and Fiorentina did.

Paolo de Ceglie scores after maybe the best Genoa-combination this season

With a 1-1 draw in Bergamo the Gasp-boys now have 40 points in the standings. Number 18 in the standings Bologna has 28 points, so with 3 matches to play our team is 100% sure of playing next season for the 8th time in a row in Serie A. A record for our club since the 2nd World War. After first a shot of Bertolacci against the post 14 minutes later Genoa probably scored the best goal of the season. After a great combination of Fetfatzidis and Gilardino the ball went to Antonelli who gave a perfect cross back towards De Ceglie and his header was in the far corner: 0-1. At the beginning of the 2nd half Portanova was send away with a very dubious red car after a foul (?) against Denis who also got a penalty that was stopped by Mattia Perin. As often the last time we took a goal in the last minutes. This time it was De Luca who scored, but clearly in an off-side position. Everybody saw it, except referee Peruzzo and his linesman.
