The Ukrainian midfielder of Italian "Genoa" Ruslan Malinovskyi commented on his return to the starting lineup of the team in the Serie A match against "Lecce".

"Mirretta is a smart player who understands football, and when I thought to give him the ball, I saw he was ready to shoot. When a player is smart, he makes that move, and the pass happens. This is what we trained this week: when one goes lower, the other enters the zone. And we scored thanks to that.
Excitement about returning to the starting lineup? The fans were fantastic. Every day during these six months, I thought about returning to play. Training is a bit different than playing in front of such a full stadium. I am proud to be here. The fans supported me during these months; they wrote to me. They gave me the confidence that I would return.
I am happy, I want to be healthy, and I want to play football. I want to make the people of Genoa happy. I want to play good football, move forward, and above all, be healthy," Malinovskyi is quoted by the telegram channel "Vzbіrna" with reference to the site Alfredo Pedulla.
