Yesterday we gave you a preview here on AllMarketWeb of the yes received from the company: Salvatore Sirigu will be a new player of the Palermo. The goalkeeper born in 1987, has already defended the goalposts of the pink and black team from 2009 to 2011. On the bench at that time there was Delio Rossiwho spoke to the microphones of ilovepalermocalcio.comto talk about the market operation.
What do you think about Sirigu’s return to the pink and black team?
“Sirigu is a boy I had when he was very young in Palermo and to whom I am very fond. He made the history of Palermo and thanks to the pink team he also made his own history. I am pleased that a player at the end of his career can return to where he started. I think it is a sign of continuity”.
Can he take over the starting spot, despite the presence of Desplanches?
“Knowing the boy, if he made this choice it means he is emotionally involved. For me he is still a more than valid goalkeeper. Even if he doesn’t play he will have a fundamental role also inside the locker room, he knows what it means to wear the pink and black shirt. Especially for the new ones it will be fundamental”.
What do you think of Dionisi, is he the right coach for the ambitions of the pink and black team?
“There are teams that are destined to fight for the top just because of their name, Palermo is one of these. The pitch will decide whether Dionisi is the right coach. Many times you make choices that you think are right and sometimes the pitch, which is the sole judge, shows that you are wrong. He will be judged like all coaches, by the pitch. If he manages to make the jump in category, then it will mean that he was the right choice for Palermo”.
