The “Barbera” match is a match with an important meaning not only for Reggiana but also for Palermo. mister Michele Mignani: the former Bari coach has not yet found a victory since he arrived on the Rosanero bench, a result that has been missing for the Sicilians since March 10th.
«I’m trying to give the team my line and my idea – underlined the Rosanero coach in the press conference on the eve of the match against Regia – I must say that in recent weeks I have always felt one growth. I believe that in the last three games there have been progressive improvements and we can achieve victory. The result is determined by episodes, but our task will be to manage the match for 90 minutes and not let it be determined by episodes. It will be necessary to have balance and compactness, but also to be decisive in the offensive phase. There Reggiana? I expect a difficult match against a team that knows how to open up and put the opponent in difficulty, has a lot of dribbling and uses a central striker, two under strikers and two wingers. We must be good at staying tight, giving little and starting again. We face a team that has achieved many good results away from home and that plays good football. Reggiana recently also went on to win in Venice, so we have to be good at playing the game. Not being there Aurelio we have different solutions, which can also be external attackers placed in those areas or perhaps more running midfielders».
Tomorrow against Regia it could be time again Frogwho was out of action for a long time due to injury: «The boy is fine – Mignani specified – He worked with the team all week but clearly, having been out of action for some time, he still needs some training to get back to 100%. But I think he will be available for the match against Reggiana: he can do more things and this allows us, thanks to his quality, to change during the match.». The objective for Palermo is to return to winning at the “Barbera” where the three points have been missing since February: «Against league leaders Parma, in my opinion, the team performed well on the pitch and played a good game. The ideal would be to be able to maintain this balance and add a few goals to win matches. We are now in a situation where we have to work on ourselves to believe we can be a loose cannon. It depends on us. We are aiming for victory as we have been since the first day I arrived. Risk something more? You have to understand when it’s time to do it. We need to understand that within a single game there are many games, but when the time is right you need to know how to hurt your opponents, whether you play at home or away. Studying new solutions in view of the playoffs? Meanwhile the points for the playoffs I’m not there yet mathematically, then I believe that victories bring serenity and this is our goal. Always changing means taking away what you have consolidated. I’m going to look for victory with meaning, but even without meaning would be fine. I saw the desire to win again from the boys, given that it has been missing for a long time».
