Today’s edition of “Il Corriere dello Sport” focuses on Palermo and the self-esteem that needs to be rebuilt.
As in a short deck of course, such a setup loses something in terms of offensive danger. Palermo sinks less and also with fewer men, on the other hand the team comes from a period of profound insecurity and prefers to rebuild its self-esteem through small steps. In Cosenza, as soon as the Sila team equalized, the pink team stiffened and lost fluidity: the ghost of the many points lost from advantageous situations still weighs heavily.
On a practical level, however, the effects in Mignani’s first 180 minutes were visible: the 3 goals conceded by Palermo arise from a defensive misunderstanding and from a shot from 25 meters (Samp) and from a penalty that raised doubts (Cosenza) both for the decision itself and for the need for that type of intervention by Ceccaroni.
But Pigliacelli had to make very few challenging saves and his opponents had less freedom to finish. Mignani started by bringing some concepts that are familiar to him and which were probably indispensable, now with two consecutive home games, an extra step is needed: even he won’t like the Mister X label too much, which is not enough for the objectives of Palermo.
