Haciendo la "C" para su novia, Camila Hernández, pero también para su familia y toda la gente roja y azul. Así fue la dedicatoria de Johan Vásquez, luego de debutar y convertir su primer gol con el jersey del Genoa, en la Serie A de Italia.
Vásquez llegó en agosto al conjunto rossoblù, tras su gran participación en los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio, pero aún no sumaba minutos en cancha. Su suerte cambió hoy finalmente, en la Jornada 8, cuando el técnico Davide Ballardini decidió darle su primera titularidad de la temporada.
