12.30 the press conference begins
Antonelli takes word: “Let’s talk immediately about Pohjanpalo. It was not part of our program. Then as always happens in the market the scenarios change, Palermo made an important offer to Joel, he seemed to be an important offer to be grasped, I think That he understood the important challenge in a championship that had seen him protagonist. More solutions in the offensive department. We have tried to strengthen the squad, we are penultimate and this does not make the fans happy and not even us, but we have already wanted to get points for the ascent. With our coach. We then evaluated the growth of this group, some have made it, those who are here are here are the ones we think can be useful in the project. We have clear the goals, we have achieved almost all our goals, let’s say 80%, then of the things that happened made our plans change partly. We hit the various Marcandalli, Kike Perez, Condé, Candé, perhaps a little late compared to what we wanted, but because we must respect the times of Venice, or those of a team that must respect the economic and financial balances, bringing out Before the players and then make others enter. Then add the times of Venice in A: Venice in B is a very attractive society, in A, it must also be established in this sense. We have almost all owned players, if we were to stay we would have the opportunity to outrush others such as Zerbin, testifying to the fact that we are trying to create values. Another important operation is that of Ellertsson, made for reasons of economic sustainability, holding it on loan since he wanted to contribute to the cause. We acknowledge the coach’s work in enhancing the boys. The Zerbin operation was important, then I thank Inter for the arrival of Radu given the emergency. I clarify that Yaremchuk and Shomurodov were objective, we had found an agreement for both, unfortunately the events known for both, with games where they scored, made the scenarios change for their sales. But we tried to give solutions to the coach. I thank the fans for the demonstration of affection for the team and attachment. I understand that they are suffering, I’m suffering too, but we are all working in companies to improve, to do better. We had said we wanted to be competitive, I think this we have been to date, the goal is still within reach. “
How much is Stankovic out?
“To be optimistic 2 and a half months. 10 days more or less, little change. Stankovic and Pohjanpalo were the two unexpected events on the market. Fila we had been following him for some time and Maric arrived, Stankovic have replaced him with Radu”.
