Maniero warns Venezia: “Facing Milan now is worse. Pohjanpalo? Everything to see”

Philip Maniero he wore the shirt of Venice from ’98 to 2002 and knows what it feels like to play at San Siro against Milan. In the interview given to Courier of Venetothe former striker warned the men of By Francesco: “I have always been a fan of the Devils, when there was the possibility of moving there I was the happiest person in the world. Tomorrow will be something priceless for an orange-black-green footballer, especially for someone who is making his debut in Serie A and playing there for the first time. You can’t help but be almost bewitched, fascinated”.

Manor he also goes against the grain: “Facing Milan now is worse than usual. I am convinced that, also thanks to the break, they will have an incredible thirst and desire for revenge. I did not expect this false start, I thought they would have done much better. Tomorrow it will be very hard for Venezia to take points away from Milan. It is not easy to metabolise Vanoli’s departure, Paolo had impressed a mentality, a desire and a precise and complete style of play”.

Finally he expressed himself as follows on Pohjanpal: “It remains to be seen. I’ve seen him play several times, in Serie B he’s a player who has made and continues to make a difference. In Serie A, however, it’s a different story. There’s a world of difference between the two categories, I’m also curious to understand. In the past, it’s happened to me that players from one category changed their performance”.
