“Let’s try to look at the glass half full. We had a good match from an aggressive point of view, playing on equal terms against a strong team and we also had opportunities to bring it home. Let’s hold on to this point, it must make us understand that we can play against everyone.” The Palermo defender spoke like this after the Barbera match Fabio Lucioni after the goalless draw against Parma as reported Pianetaserieb.it then looking at the promotion play-offs: “We can end the season as protagonists by going through the play offs which will all see strong teams, but we are no different. We must look for solutions so that the results turn in our favor.”
Then there is room for the new coach: “Since he arrived he has tried to bring serenity, he has made us shake off the pressures that can exist in such an important place. I think the new formation has given a little more solidity and greater depth to the attack.”
A thought then for Di Mariano who was out with a blow to the knee which caused the fans to worry: “Luckily the injury is less serious than expected, I saw him heartened and also quite smiling because it could have been worse. For us he is a really important footballer. Unfortunately we cannot place these 19 stitches in the ranking (laughs, ed.), he’ll keep them as a souvenir.”
