Genoa boss Malesani berates critics

Genoa coach Alberto Malesani has hit out at suggestions that he has lost interest and is indifferent to his job.

"Just because I don't jump up and down on the bench or celebrate, doesn't mean I'm not interested," Malesani told reporters after a week of criticism of the team's performances.

"I am respectful, I don't make a fuss about what is written, I can be pleasant or unpleasant but I'm sincere; I'm not indifferent."

"In fact, he has always been the president. I hope he comes more often to Milanello [the club headquarters] as his presence brings something extra to the atmosphere," Allegri said.

"At the moment, there is nothing happening and there are no options," Montolivo told Sky Sports Italia. "The transfer speculation is just media talk."

Inter Milan can still win Serie A despite their dismal start, Esteban Cambiasso told the club's website.

"The championship is very well balanced and that makes us believe," Cambiasso said. "We need a few good results in a row and we will be up among the leaders, and then another championship will start."
