In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Genoa full back Domenico Criscito has looked ahead to the tough spell that awaits he and his Grifone teammates after the international break that sees them take on Juventus and both Milan clubs.

“A terrible cycle awaits us. We will go to Turin to face Juventus and then to Milan to face Inter and Milan. Other teams have won at San Siro this season so we will also try to do the same. Perhaps the break will be useful for us and it allows us to recover that bit more from the defeat at the weekend.”
