Preziosi takes the pressure off
Tuesday 10 March, 2009

Genoa chief Enrico Preziosi wants his men to play without pressure for the rest of the season.

The Grifone have exceeded pre-season expectations by emerging as Champions League qualification candidates.

However, after last weekend's 2-0 defeat against Inter, the Rossoblu have just one win in their last five outings.

“I can understand why the players and the Coach felt gutted after their defeat against Inter,” Preziosi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I will now tell the players to carry on in a calm fashion and to show conviction.

“We must not forget that our objective is just to stay in the top half of the table.

“Anything more than that would be a bonus. We just need some luck and some determination if we are to stay where we are in the table.

“We have been doing well and I think the key is just to face our upcoming matches without the burden of pressure.”

Genoa travel to fellow overachievers Cagliari this weekend.
