“I spoke to the company and I also feel questioned every day. I already knew the new director Osti, not only by reputation since his CV speaks for him, and now we are deepening our knowledge”. The Palermo coach Alessio Dionisi he spoke like this in the press conference ahead of the match against Modena, immediately addressing the issue of the change in management: “I am not the only one responsible for everything and we are not doing well, it is clear, otherwise the club would not have decided to change. – continues the technician as we read above Stadionews.it – With Osti we also talked about the game system, the transfer market is not my job, but I talk about it with the sporting director and the club. We will have to be effective knowing what can help us”.
Then there is room for the match against Modena and the environmental situation: “It would be nice if we were all united, but we have to deserve it and the protest must be accepted. The team could do better in an environment that supports and then possibly challenges after the match. – continues Dionisi – We have grown in the quality of play, but there are still two main problems which are the games lost and the goals scored. We are doing everything we can to improve also because the two issues to be resolved are linked to each other. We need to improve not so much the quality of the game but rather the continuity and find greater serenity on the pitch. Modena are an annoying team, they give you little, they know how to play the game, but also get down and start again. It will be nice to go back to playing at home against a team that is doing well and has never lost under the new coach.”
Then there is room for some transfer ‘cases’ from Brunori to Gomes and Saric: “No one has told me they want to leave, of course, and those who stay must have motivation because the will makes the difference and makes everything simpler. Brunori? I would prefer not to talk about the historical, but about current affairs. At the moment the team seems more compact than before and he is back with new life, but this doesn’t mean he will be a starter tomorrow. Gomes is better after a period in which he had some problems and is an important player, a starter, for this team, then everyone can’t always play and I have to make some assessments. In the middle of the field we also recovered Saric and Blin who we never had will be back soon. – concludes Dionisi – Voices of farewell? I didn’t know about the ones about Saric and Gomes, I didn’t even have any doubts when I saw them on the pitch. I saw them both well.”
