Genoa vs Fiorentina: Ivan Korniychuk's bet

The Ukrainian midfielder shared his thoughts on the upcoming Serie A match

"We need to play as a team and fight for every ball," Korniychuk said

Ivan Korniychuk, a Ukrainian midfielder for Genoa, spoke about the upcoming Serie A match against Fiorentina.

"We need to play as a team and fight for every ball," Korniychuk said. "We know that Fiorentina is a strong team, but we are confident that we can get a positive result."

Korniychuk is expected to start in midfield for Genoa on Sunday. The 22-year-old has been in good form this season, scoring two goals in 10 appearances.

Genoa is currently 15th in Serie A, while Fiorentina is 10th. A win for Genoa would see them move up the table and closer to their goal of staying in the top flight.

"We have a good team and we are all working hard to achieve our goals," Korniychuk said. "We know that it will be a difficult match, but we are ready for the challenge."

Korniychuk's comments come after Genoa's 3-0 defeat to Inter Milan on Wednesday. The loss was Genoa's third in a row and leaves them in a relegation battle.

"We are disappointed with the result, but we need to move on and focus on the next match," Korniychuk said. "We know that we can stay in Serie A, and we will fight until the end."

Genoa will host Fiorentina at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday at 15:00 CET.
