With the players who have arrived [Xherdan Shaqiri and Lukas Podolski], we hope to get there."
Genoa manager Gian Piero Gasperini (via Football Italia): "Our objective must not be third place this season, as otherwise we'll get criticized if we don't achieve it. We have an extraordinary position in the table and want to hold on to it as long as possible."
