After spending the whole season on the bench and in the infirmary (he missed 9 games due to a metacarpal fracture) in the match against Ascoli in the last round Sebastiano Desplanches he made his debut with the Palermo shirt, managing well against his rivals despite conceding two goals (without particular responsibility) and standing out for some good saves and little shyness in his outings. A performance that struck a chord with the Rosanero fans and made them remember the parable of Samuele Massolo from two years ago as he points out Stadionews.
Even the ’96 class, now playing for Vicenza in Serie C, in fact remained on the bench for almost the entire season before being started by Silvio Baldini due to the forced absence of the owner Alberto Pelagotti, but what initially seemed like a The urgency turned into a turning point in the Rosanero’s season which was the great protagonist of the play-offs which saw the Sicilian team promoted to Serie B.
Two years later history could repeat itself with Desplanches ready to play a leading role even if it is not yet clear whether coach Mignani will still trust him, against SudTirol, to the detriment of Mirko Pigliacelli. In Palermo they hope so because ultimately superstition in football is also important.
