Boško Janković leads Genoa to victory
By: j | January 10th, 2009
Quite possibly doubt will be cast aside now as after today’s brilliant performance, Boško Janković proved he is worthy of being a fixture in the starting grid. At twenty-four years of age the Serbian international displays a textbook two-way play, high work-rate as well as a creative flourish and displayed each these attributes to the letter leading Genoa to a 3-0 victory over Torino. As the temperature dipped at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, the Rossoblu took the lead eighteen minutes in as Giuseppe Biava charged into the box to aggressively head in Ivan Jurić’s corner. Lusting for goals, Genoa answered the call as a few minutes after the break Giuseppe Sculli sent a cross for Boško Janković, to which he sent past Torino ‘keeper Matteo Sereni with resolve. With the two goal margin, Genoa wisely looked to lock down the match, bringing in Anthony Vanden Borre for Rubén Olivera on the hour and for the most part nullified Torino’s opportunities. However with six minutes remaining Thiago Motta added the third of the afternoon to bring the match to its final 3-0 scoreline.
With the victory, Genoa levels itself with fourth-place Fiorentina at thirty points. They return to action against Inter in the Coppa Italia before returning to Serie A play against Lecce next Sunday.

I want my Bosko back…

There is my Sicilian friend : )
Boško Janković is brilliant and I am glad he is finally given an opportunity.
I actually pulled a much longer commentary on twenty-five players from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia that every team should try to sign. However given the amount of people who read this I stopped – lol
Anyways, I’m sure you’ll welcome him back once his loan is up.
Now, please win tomorrow : )

j – something tells me we won’t get Bosko back at the end of the summer. for some reason, i think Genoa can buy him outright at the end of the season. colantuono screws us over once again.

More shocking than having comments on this blog (much less a visitor – lol) is that Boško Janković’s contract has a full purchase clause. I thought it was limited and he was set to return to Palermo. However I will check.
Thanks for commenting. I think my “visits” have doubled now : )

hey, im trying to become a blogger here in the offside but i’m not sure what is the email I have to send it to. The website tells me to put this: daryl[at]theoffside.com, but it doesn’t work, the msn does not accept it. If any of you knows it please tell me, i would really appreciate it

Nnahoj / Alex, thank you for your kind words. It is very appreciated.
Genova is doing a wonderful job and continue to grow in confidence each week.
Alex, yes Boško is doing well and I know supporters would appreciate the young man if they were to get to know him more. I’ve watched him play for quite a long time and was very pleased to see him a part of the club this year.
Hopefully his success will lead to some other top flight talent in Serbia making their way to Serie A. Siniša Mihajlović of Bologna is looking at Dušan Tadić and Danijel Aleksić of Vojvodina, which is good because each have boundless potential. Pay close attention to Nenad Krstičić of Sampdoria as well.
roma123 that is the correct email so you should not have any problems. Please try again and let me know if it works this time.

being from england i have noticed more and more eastern european players coming through and just how talented some of them are. berbatov is the prime example and vidic. and of course man utd have just signed those two players from belgrade who are meant to be amazing its good to see eastern european players finally coming through

Alex, I am glad to see you agree. Eastern Europe is a vast wealth of talent and I personally believe it is scouted horribly. Zoran Tošić and Adem Ljajić are brilliant signings for Man Utd but there is at least twelve others within Rad, Partizan, Vojvodina and Crvena zvezda that possess extraordinary potential.
Expanding the horizon to include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro that talent pool is stunning.

some of the players you see are as technically good as the spaniards, brazilians and italians but they also have that hardness that people associate with eastern europe. especially players like vidic. well just look at the croatia national team they have done great things. and even russia. i like jankovic especially though some of the goals he can score are amazing its a shame he couldnt get a game at palermo they seem to have alot of internal troubles but i hope he can become the player he was meant to be at genoa.
ive been an admirer of genoa since visiting genova a few years back and more so since the promotion from serie b the celebrations were amazing (im a napoli fan) and you have been going from strength to strength since! its down to the shrewd business of your management your bringing in some real classy players (huge fan of criscito hoping we will sign him in the near future) and getting milito back is a master stroke. i would love for both of us to get into the champions league and who knows in the next couple of seasons the way we are going we may even be challenging eachother for the scudetto! haha im a dreamerPosted from

I think you and I are in complete agreement and I believe very strongly of Football talent in the broad region defined as the Balkans. As it relates to Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro, the wealth of talent is extraordinary and yet the scouting from teams outside horribly bad regardless of what clubs claim. I certainly agree with your commentary on Russia as I write the blog on Russian Football here as well.
I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Genova, not to far from my home as well so maybe one day we can meet up for a match. Very nice to see the Neapolitans doing well and I am encouraged by their ownerships investment in the clubs future. Hopefully the return to glory during Maradona’s days are ahead for you.
Thank you for visiting.
