Borriello's Genoa commitment Wednesday 27 February, 2008 Genoa’s striking revelation Marco Borriello admits he is flattered by praise from Carlo Ancelotti, but remains focused on the Rossoblu cause.
After a torrid time at Milan, Borriello was loaned to Genoa last summer and has finally demonstrated his devastating potential.
Last weekend’s hat-trick moved Borriello top of the Capocannoniere chart and reasserted his claim for a trip to Euro 2008 as well as winning plaudits from Ancelotti.
“I have found a squad that shows trust in me and I can play regularly,†the Neapolitan marksman explained. “I think that is crucial for a player.
“Other sides where I have played knew that I had talent but it was impossible to show it without that trust. Now I have found the ideal environment.â€
There have been suggestions that Borriello will be brought back to base this summer and they have intensified with Palermo’s reluctance to sell Amauri to the Rossoneri.
“There is so much competition in attack at Milan. There are famous players with big names and when you are young and you aren’t known it is very difficult to find space.
“Therefore it was really nice to hear Ancelotti’s words when he said that I was undervalued. It’s a small grievance that I can lay to rest, but I’m not here to stir controversy, as that wouldn’t help anyone.
“I want to stay here and keep doing as well as I have been, but we know that my situation is a bit complicated.
“I am co-owned and if Genoa and Milan can’t agree then it will be decided with offers in sealed envelopes.
“However, I repeat that there is along time before decisions have to be made and I am just focused on scoring for Genoa and securing a place in Europe.
“I don’t want to dwell on my past at Milan. I want to look forward and towards my new dream of the Azzurri shirt.â€
