De Rossi Sets Bar at ‘Perfect’ as Genoa Prepare for Inter on Sunday

He casts the match as a mental test against a motivated Inter led by former teammate Cristian Chivu.

Overview

  • Genoa host Inter in Serie A on Sunday, December 14, at 18:00 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris for the 15th matchday.
  • Daniele De Rossi warned that only a near-flawless display will suffice against Inter, who he says punish even minor errors.
  • He described Inter as highly motivated after a recent loss to Liverpool and identified them as Scudetto contenders.
  • De Rossi outlined a plan to stifle Inter’s build-up through midfield, saying Genoa will mirror with a back five; he also noted Østigård will sit out with Otoa set for a chance.
  • Praising Cristian Chivu’s intelligence and success, De Rossi said he purposely did not contact Chivu or Aleksandar Kolarov this week to avoid awkwardness.
