Genoa: Colombo is warming up the engines, already five goals in

Colombo scored in several friendlies and on the England mini-tour; Genoa definitely bought it after the maintenance.

Why it matters

Lorenzo Colombo's pre-season performances are a key indicator of his form and adaptation at Serie A club Genoa. With five goals scored, he demonstrates not only his efficiency in front of goal, but also the confidence that the technical staff, led by Daniele De Rossi, places in him. This could prove crucial for the start of the championship, where Genoa will face formidable opponents like Napoli.

Key points

  • Genoa: Colombo is warming up the engines, already five goals in.
  • Colombo scored in several friendlies and during the mini-tour of England; Genoa definitely bought it after the maintenance.

Lorenzo Colombo took advantage of the summer break to work on his efficiency in front of goal and reassure the Genoa staff. Already the author of five goals during preparation matches, the Italian center forward seems in ideal conditions a few days before the resumption of the championship.

The player, previously on loan from AC Milan, first found the net in the match against Trento at Moena, converting a somewhat lucky penalty according to the story of the pre-season meetings. Still in Val di Fassa, he then scored a double during a family test, before scoring another penalty on the Vicenza pitch. More recently, Genoa's English evening was decided by a strike from the number 9: Colombo scored at the King Power Stadium against Leicester, taking advantage of a pass from Meichtry to finish with a left foot.

These performances come after the confirmation of the final purchase of the player by the Rossoblù club. After having fulfilled the criteria provided for in the loan agreement – ​​minimum number of appearances and goals – the maintenance obtained by the team triggered the transfer obligation which made Colombo a full-fledged Grifone player. The club and the coach, in the person of Daniele De Rossi, saw their confidence in the striker rewarded on the pitch.

Beyond the numbers, these preparation matches allowed Colombo to get back into the rhythm of the competition and refine their sense of goal, alternating between penalties and goals from open play. His ability to be decisive in different contexts – internal test, national confrontations and mini-tour in England – is a positive signal for Genoa, which will begin the championship at home on August 22 at the Luigi Ferraris stadium in Genoa against Naples.

As the season approaches, the club is now awaiting confirmation in official competition: the pre-season serves as a launching pad, but performances in Serie A will be the real barometer to measure Colombo's progress. For now, the striker has proven that he can be a reliable offensive option for De Rossi and the Genoa sporting project.
