Preziosi: Genoa in dreamland
Monday 23 March, 2009

Genoa President Enrico Preziosi is delighted with the performance of his side this season and believes they can make the Champions League.

The Grifone currently lie fourth in Serie A with eight games remaining this season and are just four points behind third placed Milan.

“Fourth place was our objective, but now we have the job of defending our position,” Preziosi told Radio Rai.

“We have all the right qualities. It will be a battle until the final round with Roma and Fiorentina."

Genoa are three points ahead of the Viola and five points ahead of the Giallorossi as the end of the season approaches.

“If Juventus can still reach Inter with seven points between them, we too can think about reaching Milan,” he said.

“It would be a dream. We have also come off better against Milan this season and so that would work in our favour.”

When asked to explain the Grifone's success in 2008-09, Preziosi replied: “It's all the fruit of rigorous planning.

“We can speak about miracles, but it's largely down to a mix of factors, starting with the technical side of things, then the players and the club,” he concluded.

Genoa are back in action after the international break when they travel to relegation threatened Reggina, who lost 3-0 at Inter on Sunday afternoon.
