Palermo, Mignani: “Parma challenging and truthful test, we won’t have to concede too much”

On the eve of the match against Parma, which opens the thirty-fourth day of the Serie B championship, at home Palermo the technician spoke Michele Mignani:

“Tomorrow we meet the first in the standings, the strongest of all. Challenging and truthful test for us, I’m curious, I want to understand how much the team has worked to get to this match well. We must have the ambition to go and get those who are up front, it’s a question of mentality. I can’t afford to go too far with my thoughts on tomorrow’s match, Parma have a coach who has been working with the same team for two years. Have I already faced Parma? I need them to tell my boys about the level of Parma, a team that has grown and has proven to be the strongest of all.”

“Since my arrival we have changed something compared to Palermo before, the team may have received a little more balance, perhaps with a few fewer players in the opponent’s area. But this can be found again over time. Football is made up of two phases, it’s not important to create 58 chances but to bring home the three points. With Parma you have to be careful not to concede too much, if you concede like with Samp and Cosenza we risk conceding goals because they have a lot of quality and physicality. We have to be careful, but just as much competitive and doing badly. It will be complicated for us, but must it be for them too? It’s his first experience in Serie B, he’s young. We need to frame him in the right way, find the right conditions to express himself at his best. I hope you can help us as soon as possible.”
