Monza: Palladino, the dream could still be Europe

MONZA, 26 APR – “We must try to score as many points as possible: the objective was salvation, the dream could be Europe or it could still be Europe. We don’t know, it’s a very strange and balanced championship and I told the team this. We can score points with everyone and lose with everyone.” Monza coach Raffaele Palladino said this on the eve of the match against Lecce, scheduled for tomorrow. “Those in front of us are very structured teams, they start already at the beginning of the championship with different objectives from ours – he continued -. We are trying to stick to them as much as possible: with five days to go, safety achieved is a source of pride. We will try to score as many points as possible, starting tomorrow in Lecce.” “I took over the management of the group from Didier Deschamps, he had the great ability to treat everyone in the same way, from the greatest champions to the smallest in the squad. That was me,” added Palladino who then spoke about Lecce’s coach Luca Gotti: “He’s very intelligent, he has an incredible human depth and Lecce’s results are there for all to see. It’s a very complicated team, with physical strength and counterattacks.”
