Alessio Dionisi, coach of Palermo, speaks at a press conference on the eve of the match against Modena, the first match after the league break. Before Modena, the coach speaks at length about the game system, emphasizing that it is not a problem. Particular attention also on the first matches: Dionisi speaks of a performance below his expectations, but there are improvements and the team must improve in mentality. There is no difficulty with the module, we must be more effective. We have the quality to put the numbers back in place. On a defensive level, we are looking for the best possible balance. Opponents are given chances. To choose the game system, we start from the characteristics of the players. We are working to improve, there is no issue with the module, it is just mentality. Changing the module during the match? Football is beautiful because opinions are varied. No one better than the coach can know the players and make choices. We need to be more balanced, during the match we can play with two forwards together, and I don't rule out that it will happen. The match against the Salerninata For me, the team needs to be balanced on the pitch. With Salernitana we could have dared more in terms of mentality, it has nothing to do with the game system. Let's not create false problems: we need to perform and give more continuity. Before Salernitana we were making improvements. The match against Modena is difficult, Bisoli knows the category, at home he benefits from the support of the crowd. They are a vertical team, dangerous on dead ball, with individual quality. There is no obvious match in Serie B. Two teams will face each other that have achieved less than they deserved. We need to respect Modena, but we can beat them. We need to have an 8-star championship, and today we are at 6. Furthermore, we need to bring out more, not just in what you see. In some moments of the match, we run late and arrive late. We need something more in terms of mentality, which then goes hand in hand with the game. We have digested the defeat with Salernitana. The response from the boys will come on the pitch. We have certainly worked in these two weeks, we have to grow and demonstrate it on Saturday against Modena. Furthermore, we are not racing on others, but on ourselves. If I have to draw a line, we are below what we can do. We have to think about ourselves, we have only played eight games. Not many shots? We are improving, the numbers cannot be changed in two games. We have to kick more, improve our accuracy, and it all comes down to the mentality. The “Barbera” is the pitch that pushes us the most, the fans are commendable. Eight games are not a rule, so far we have not had great numbers. At home or away the result is worth the same, we know that we can improve our mentality. The Saturday Match against Modena On Saturday we want to give our fans something to cheer about, unfortunately we were unable to do so at home. I would have preferred to play at the “Barbera”. We work on everything, the characteristics of the players help you. For me, if the defender or the attacker scores it’s the same, the important thing is to get there. On Saturday we mustn’t allow counterattacks, Modena is very good at this fundamental; we must play in areas of the pitch that aren’t risky. The recovery of the second ball against Salernitana wasn’t effective only in the first ten minutes. We didn’t prepare the match badly. We are a team like the others, with significant qualities. Le Douaron? He is a player who will perform, he will become strong. I am speaking to the future, which will soon become the present. He needs to settle in, it’s his first season in Italy, he comes from a different championship. He is working and in training he shows his qualities. Likewise, he is destined to raise the level of this team. Lund will train for the first time today (Thursday 17, ed.). Diakité arrives in the evening. Pierozzi will most likely be available, however we will have to evaluate his minutes. Verre had never been well, the training sessions were very important for him. Verre is a starter in this team, this does not mean that he will always play from the start. Palermo is made up of many starters.
