“Time so far has been unbelievable” – Alexander Blessin on his first months at CFC Genoa

Blessin: In any case. At first it was said that an unknown German was coming who had to master this Herculean task. At first I was viewed critically by the Tifosi. You have to know that there was a sense of apocalypse in Genoa, many no longer believed in staying up, but after the first game we got applause straight away because the fans saw what we were planning to do with the team. I like the people here with their emotions. Our good results then did the rest. That is rewarded. Since I’ve been there, we’ve put up a fantastic defense and conceded just three goals in nine games. The crux of the matter is that we only scored three goals, failing to convert our many quality chances into more goals.
