Pavanel: "Conceding in stoppage time hurts, but there are reasons to be confident"

Genoa - Head coach Massimo Pavanel's post-match comments following Genoa-Hellas Verona, Matchday 9 of the 2026/27 Primavera 1 championship.

Coach, your thoughts on the match? "Conceding in stoppage time hurts. I feel for the lads because they poured so much energy into this game and showed some great ideas. Genoa created a lot, and fair to say they ultimately deserved the equalizer. For most of the match we kept them well under control and created chances to double our lead. The positive takeaway is how well we responded on a tough pitch, against a strong side with standout players like Robinho Junior. We have every reason to feel confident as we prepare for the match against Roma, which will be even tougher than today's."
