Palermo, Gds: “Pigliacelli returns as a protagonist and decisive player between the posts. His future… ”

Mignani’s Palermo finds the best Pigliacelli between the posts in this regular season finale and in view of the probable playoffs: the goalkeeper among the best against Pecchia’s Parma

Two important saves, on Di Chiara’s left-footed shot made even more dangerous by Diakité’s deflection, then on Delprato’s close-range shot. Pigliacelli was the author of an authoritative and brilliant performance between the posts against the leaders, managing to secure his goal and ensuring the rosanero team the fourth clean sheets seasonal. Palermo who had already been able to end the matches won against Bari and Como at Barbera without a goal, Lecco away. After some not exactly impeccable performances and three consecutive goals conceded with medium-range shots, the Rosanero goalkeeper reacted to the criticism on the pitch by showing off two good performances against Cosenza and Parma. Today’s edition of the Giornale di Sicilia underlines how even against the ducals Pigliacelli reiterated some of his laudable peculiarities in the interpretation of the role: the reactivity and reflexes on deflected shots, the ability to oppose the conclusions at the near post which he protects excellently, precision and familiarity in sorting out the play in the first possession, by virtue of educated feet and individual technique which is remarkable for a full-back. The hope of the Rosanero goalkeeper is to at least match the performance standards of the end of last season, when Palermo narrowly missed out on reaching the playoffs but he was the protagonist of important saves and high-level performances. Four regular season matches plus any playoffs are missing to convince the club to focus on him also in the future. Palermo’s promotion chances still depend on his performances but also on the team’s ability to play an effective and cohesive defensive phase, as admired right in the presence of league leaders Parma.
