Genoa coach Gian Piero Gasperini has rubbished reports of a rift with president Enrico Preziosi.

There's mounting pressure on Gasperini after a poor start to the season.

But he says: "On Sunday we lost, but at the end of the game the fans called the players over to cheer them and that is what counts.

"I speak to the President every Monday, but we never tell anyone what we discussed.

"We've had mud slung at us all week, absolute tons of the stuff. Thankfully the football calendar gives us the chance to play again this weekend.

"Now we can turn our attention towards Parma, a side that has reinforced considerably with Sebastian Giovinco."
