Marchetti 'always ready' to step in

Veteran Genoa goalkeeper Federico Marchetti steps in for injured Mattia Perin against Roma. ‘I am always ready.’

This is only the former Lazio shot-stopper’s third Serie A appearance of the season, as Perin pulled out yesterday.

“You have to consider training like a game, so when you train well and are called up, you are in the best possible shape,” Marchetti told DAZN.

“I try to work every week as if I will play at the weekend, so that I am always ready. I am now 38 years old, so if I’m still here, it means I can still do a job.”
