Patrick Vieira leaves the Maradona with a heavy point and a smile full of pride. His Genoa, with personality and courage, blocked Napoli at 2-2, indirectly rekindling the race for the title. But for the French coach, the draw is not a stroke of luck, but rather the fruit of a well-constructed identity: "We showed intensity and quality - he said at the end of the match to Dazn microphones - we kept the center of gravity high, attacked on the outside and put one of the strongest teams in the championship in difficulty. Vasquez's goal was deserved".
Vieira, who in recent weeks has been linked to several benches in view of next season, elegantly dribbles the questions about his future. He doesn't commit himself, but sends a clear message: the focus is on the present. "There are a lot of movements, but the staff and I are focused on finishing the championship well. Against Milan and today against Napoli we showed how much we care about this shirt".

The coach also said he was satisfied with the team's spirit, especially that of the younger players, underlining the unity of the dressing room and the desire to end the season in the best possible way, a season that saw Genoa grow day after day.
On the standings and the effects of the draw on the championship, Vieira limits himself to a smile: "We took a point against a very strong team, and it's a pleasure. But we only think about ourselves."

Genoa had a nice draw against Napoli, but I don't know if it's enough to think about the championship. Vieira seems happy, but I would like to see more goals from the team. The defense sometimes has some flaws that need to be solved.
