FutMexNation is here to bring you a recap of this past weekend’s Mexican Abroad Action.
Serie A
Johan Vasquez and Genoa continue to find themselves in a big predicament, slowly furthering into relegation. They currently find themselves in 19th place and are seven points away from escaping relegation. On top of that, they have now gone 25 league games without a victory and their last five matches ending in draws. Despite the team’s current form, Johan continues to be a solid defender and one of the most consistent. This weekend they faced off against Empoli, with Johan having four interceptions, three clearances, six duels won, and two key passes. He did all of this while playing as a right back – a position he is still trying to adapt to. Genoa will welcome Atalanta next weekend, a tough matchup that could possibly further them away from safety.
