Genoa, Medeiros: "I'm here because club believes in young players. Scoring in the derby would be the dream"

In his first start since his arrival in January, Portugues winger Iuri Medeiros showed his quality scoring the winner against Cagliari in the dying minutes of the game with a precise left-footed curler that went in near the far post: "That's my speciality, I' scored many goals like this in Portugal - the ex-Sporting Club said in an exclusive interview with Il Secolo XIX - "I didn't know I would start, honestly. Then the coach said that I was going to play and I did my best to not diasppoint him. I am very happy that my goal helped the team to win a very important game for reaching safety. I didn't have much space in Portugal, so I realised that this was the best moment for a change and playing here in Italy looked like the best solution for me. I've known Miguel Veloso since he was in Sporting first team and I was in the youth team. He said that I would have liked it in here and that Genoa is a club that has faith in youngsters. A dream? Scoring in the derby against Sampdoria, also in extra time. I know that it's a special game, I've talked many times about it with Bruno Fernandes [ex-Sampdoria player, now at Sporting CP]".
