The well-known journalist of La Gazzetta dello Sport Nicola Binda gave an exclusive interview to the microphones of Ilovepalermocalcio.it. Below we report an extract of his considerations regarding the recently concluded Serie B championship: “If I were a Palermo fan I would be very calm because if it isn’t this year the Serie A will be in a year or two. The growth prospects of this team are huge. Bari? It was the disappointment of the championship, seeing it in the playouts after having almost reached Serie A is surprising. History says that whoever loses the playoff final the following year is more or less worth it the question of Palermo, because there is an important place that makes itself felt. Cremonese or Venezia in the play-offs? Have these 38 days taught us something and shown us that Venezia and Cremonese are the strongest in the playoffs, however? The nervous aspect prevails over the technical one, someone can suffer from it and someone else can benefit from it. It will be necessary to get there physically fit and with as few injuries as possible. I see Venezia better also because of how continuous they have been, the coach is a great motivator and he gets excited at home and with his intensity he would even be able to put Real Madrid under. It has the most decisive player in Serie B who is Pohjanpalo. So he has something more. Cremonese experienced Palermo’s problem a bit, they felt strong and lost something. Players like Vazquez, Falletti, Coda no longer gave those decisive bursts. If they wake up it will be painful for everyone but lately they have sat down and the team has become predictable. Catanzaro is the revelation and showed the best football together with Parma.”
