De Rossi laments lost points after Napoli defeat at Luigi Ferraris
Genoa’s defeat to Napoli at the Luigi Ferraris stadium has left coach Daniele De Rossi under pressure, as he insisted his side did not deserve to lose and questioned a key decision that he described as a clear foul.
In his post‑match conference, De Rossi opened with the line “Gol De Bruyne? Meglio che mi fermo, ma una cosa voglio dirla,” then asserted that the non‑call was unmistakable, saying “Stavolta credo sia evidente, nessuna persona poteva pensare che quello non fosse fallo.” He added that the first half gave him “un'idea molto positiva per il nuovo corso.”
The report began with the code 🖶 Stampa A− A+, and Le dichiarazioni in conferenza stampa highlighted his frustration. He also said “Per me era un pareggio schiantato” and that the team had offered little to lose.
He praised the first 50‑55 minutes, noting the team kept the ball and avoided Napoli’s pressure, and added that the players “ripetuto il copione.” He believed they could have played the full 90 minutes against a side he described as “forte” with “qualità e orgoglio.”
De Rossi also commented on Napoli’s coach Amorim, saying last season he had to adapt to a new reality and made “un paio di errori” that were evident, and he highlighted the difficulty of matching Napoli’s midfielders Anguissa and McTominay. He noted that Di Bello was not scarce in effort.
He concluded by saying he had spoken with Orsato in recent days, expressed confidence in the new direction, and urged the squad to give full cooperation, while acknowledging the negative feeling of the night.
