The Monza coach, Raffaele Palladino, spoke at a press conference on the eve of the championship match against Lecce, valid for the 34th matchday of Serie A
After the narrow defeat against Atalanta in the previous round, the Monzais preparing to return to the pitch for the 34th matchday of Serie A. See you tomorrow at Via del Mare against Lecce at 3pm. He spoke at the press conference Raffaele Palladino. These are the words of the Brianza coach.
Palladino: “Last year in Lecce the first point in Serie A”
The precedent in Lecce last year evokes good memories. Thus Palladino: “The match in Lecce last year gave Monza their first point in Serie A. Colombo’s penalty in the return match last season? We joked with Lorenzo, it was an episode that didn’t allow us to go to Europe but this is another season. Tomorrow it will be a completely different story. The arrival on the bench has changed my life, I have to say that we have made an extraordinary journey. Now we have five games left to finish the season and we will do everything we can to play for it matches until the end with hunger and mentality.”
What attitude should Monza have tomorrow at Via del Mare? The coach is clear: “To always grow we need to be good at being united and working. We go to Lecce with a lot of motivation to play a good match, aware that it will be a difficult challenge”. On the tactical preparation of the match against the Salento team: “I am lucky enough to have many players and I can choose from many. For me it is very important to have everyone available, to make rotations and have solutions even during the match in progress. Our objective was the salvation, the dream could have been Europe or it could also be a strange championship, we can win or lose, we have to play it out to the end and then we’ll see how it ends.”
Palladino continues: “We started with the objective of survival. Lazio, Torino and Fiorentina had other objectives at the start of the season. It’s not easy to stay close to the other teams, but we’re proud to be there to compete. We’ll try to score as many points as possible in this final rush”.
The coach then thanked Didier Deschamps for the advice he received: “The coach from whom I learned the most in managing the group is Deschamps. I was young at the time and he gave me a lot. I like training my boys and above all seeing them grow, follow them not only on the pitch but give them advice on lifestyle and nutrition. The mental aspect is fundamental in today’s football.”
Palladino concluded by speaking about Daniel Maldini and the Lecce coach, Luca Gotti: “I’m happy with Daniel, he gave us a great hand. He was fantastic, he came from a difficult path in Empoli. At the beginning there was skepticism media coverage regarding his arrival in Brianza, but he has integrated well and has grown a lot. Thanks to him and to the group that welcomed him very well. Are we friends with Luca, he is a very good and intelligent coach, of incredible human depth In the last few matches Lecce have only lost to Milan, they are a complicated team, who have their best weapons in their physical strength and counterattacks. Tomorrow they will try to put us in difficulty but we will too.”
