#LeDouaron

The Rosanero coach speaks at a press conference on the eve of the match against Cittadella The coach talks about how the general attitude has improved, but more is needed, especially in terms of tackles and second balls. I am not fully satisfied, you have to win in Mantua after everything created in the second half. We gave little to Possanzini’s team, but we were not effective in the last 16 meters. We hope to do with Cittadella what we lacked with Mantua. The misstep of the others in midweek? There is a lot of balance. We could have achieved more, but the others will not win them all. We need to be more consistent. Brunori has recovered but will not start from the beginning, he has trained very little; I am happy to have him back in the team. Cittadella has a very clear identity, in Serie B they fight hard, they always prove to be outsiders. We will have to respect them a lot, without underestimating them. It is not a match with a foregone conclusion. We are a Serie B team, we have a big name, but we are like the others. We have to stay in the game and the opponents can cause us problems. Not only that, but we are not a team out of category, and there will never be a Palermo that dominates for 100 minutes. I would like to see a team that is always in the game. Against Cittadella With Cittadella it will not be a David versus Goliath type match. More chances at Le Douaron? Let's see… We have to expect more from ourselves. The atmosphere has changed, the attitude has improved, but we cannot ‘sit’ on a positive result. Furthermore, we are not here to play a normal championship. Diakité? I am very happy with him, he is playing consistently; he might not start from the beginning with Cittadella, there are guys behind who are raring to go. In my head there is a hypothetical starting lineup, then there are always players who surprise you. In midfield, we have players with different characteristics, no one has those of Verre. Valerio is an important player, he needs as much continuity as possible; he is essential, but I expect more from him. At the end of training Verre wanted to do extra work, it is a good signal to the team: there is a desire to improve. Double-digit forwards? Henry, as well as Brunori, can also get there. We require everyone. Saric is a significant player, but he will not be there against Cittadella. Doubts about the lineup? There are three/four. Le Douaron can play in all the attacking roles, on the right and in the central area he gives his best; in the center he knows how to recognize spaces. I do not rule out playing with two forwards in the future. I expect Henry to continue to grow, he is a very positive guy, I would like more continuity. In addition, many players who score goals? We have several attacking players who can score even from the back. News about the PALERMO F.C. Seasons Appuah? He came on against Mantova and is gaining confidence, it’s normal for him to make mistakes. Before training, he came to tell me that he had made the wrong choice in that counterattack. The important thing is that he makes the right choice next time. He needs to make mistakes. He can also play on the left, but I think he can give his best on the right, he’s in his comfort zone. Although, I’m lucky to have many starters, just look at how Desplanches is responding. The group is valuable, we have to be good at managing everyone. The defensive phase is linked to the offensive phase. We’re lacking a few goals, but we’re creating chances, the time will come to finish. Brunori can raise this percentage, I expect him to be even more part of the team. 124 years is a lot, Palermo wears them very well. It was also Brunori’s birthday. No disqualifications so far? We are working on our attitudes, the club is very sensitive to this. Mantova We committed a lot of fouls against Mantova, the team got into the game. I don’t know how Cittadella will play, I think they will give continuity to the match against Sampdoria. They are the most B team in the B league. Cittadella’s mentality is recognizable regardless of the playing system. Furthermore, We are Palermo, we must have respect, but it is the others who must worry about us. Insigne? He is among the most experienced players, I expect a lot from him. He has improved in his attitude, that’s why he has grown. A clean sheet against Mantova? Credit to the team, we must improve through everyone’s application. It is impossible not to concede, we must file down the mistakes. We are on the right track. Ups and downs. I see that the team puts quantity before quality. I have always seen the runs back, but sometimes not with the right timing. In the tackle and in the second ball, we always have to get there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vWKWJ3YRM6Cc WE ARE ALSO ON FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM & THREADS & TWITTER & GOOGLE | NEWS
