After having eliminated within friendly walls the Sampdoria The Palermo Of Michele Mignani is preparing to face the Venice tomorrow evening for the first leg of the playoff semi-finals. In this regard, the Sicilian coach spoke in the usual press conference on the day before: “I think that Palermo seen on Friday is a team that has differed in attitude and spirit – we read on ForzaPalermo.it -. It was the biggest difference: a match played well in all aspects. I would like the next match to show the same spirit, then it will certainly be a different match but we have to bring that spirit back to the pitch. Two days between one match and another is a short amount of time. This was granted to us, I cannot speak for others but only for us.”
Space, then, for an evaluation of Venezia: “I saw the match against Venezia in the past, not in these two days. I believe that teamwork is needed to limit individuals, Venezia is much more, not just Pohjanpalo. They came close to direct promotion, they have a great coach who is doing very well. It will certainly be a match where we think on a collective level.”
How much impact will Barbera have? Here is Mignani’s response: “When I entered the pitch for the warm-up I had wonderful feelings, because the stadium was already full. I thought it was impossible not to want to play that match. However, both we and our opponents have players who are used to these pressures. We have to do our part.”
