Schone loving Genoa life

By Football Italia staff

Former Ajax midfielder Lasse Schone says he is loving life at Genoa and playing in ‘beautiful’ Serie A.

Schone surprisingly swapped the Champions League semi-finals and an Eredivisie title with Ajax for a Genoa side in transition, but the Dane insists he was right to make the move.

“I didn’t plan to leave Ajax,” the 33-year-old was quoted as saying by ANSA.

“I thought I’d look around and see if there could be a new challenge for me.

“Genoa immediately gave me good feelings. My wife and I think Italy is a great country, we’ve often gone there on holiday and we found a wonderful culture.

“Playing in Serie A is an advantage. It wasn’t easy at first but, once I got used to it, it was beautiful.

“For now, things are going very well.”
