“Mignani confusion. Now Palermo also risks the playoffs”, headlines the Corriere dello Sport.
Palermo is going through a very difficult period, as demonstrated by the description of the recent match against Reggiana. After a promising start, the club suffered a comeback despite goals from Lucioni and Brunori. These problems are not new, they seem to be the same ones encountered under the guidance of the previous coach, Corini. Playing problems, defensive fragility and ball management are aspects that the new coach, Mignani, must urgently address.
The team seems to have lost the ability to manage the advantage and react to difficulties, as shown in the last match where, despite a positive start, they succumbed to Reggiana’s return. Mignani’s tactical approach, which attempted to reverse the situation by inserting more attackers and modifying the formation, did not bring the desired results and only increased the confusion, highlighting a lack of clarity in the game plan.
For Palermo, the fight for a place in the play-offs is becoming increasingly difficult, and recent results only increase the pressure. The team will have to quickly find a solution to its problems to avoid a further slide in the standings and guarantee itself a chance in the play-offs. The importance of each remaining match is maximum, and every point will be crucial for the season finale.
