“The retreat went well. We worked hard, gave it our all to be ready, the feelings are good.” This is how the midfielder spoke to Palermo’s official channels Claudio Gomes focusing on the progress of the retreat and then focusing on the arrival of the new coach Alessio Dionisi and on his ideas for the game: “The relationship is good, he is trying to convey his ideas to the team asking for will, availability and energy. We know we have to do better than last year, Serie B is difficult, but we are working to be ready for the season. – continues Gomes speaking about the new arrivals – They are very strong and will help the team. The competition helps, but we must have cohesion and be balanced. The season will not be easy”.
“Wearing the pink and black jersey is a great opportunity,” the Frenchman continues, as reported Stadionews.it – We know we have to be ready to give everything on the pitch and suffer for this shirt. Fans? They are very important for us, playing with a full stadium is something more and I hope they come to help us because we need their energy”.
Finally, a thought on the bond with Manchester City: “We will work in one of the best sports centers in the world, we will meet Oxford and Leicester to prepare ourselves even better for the championship. Being part of the City Group is an honor, we are a big family where everyone is important. – concludes Gomes – I have been in Palermo for two years and I am happy, I feel at home”.
