Despite the 1-0 defeat against Venezia in the first leg of the Serie B playoffs, the Palermo coach Michele Mignani he doesn’t lose hope of recovering on the return leg.
“The team put in a performance, they entered the field aware of playing for it”, stated the Rosanero coach in the press conference, as reported Stadium News.
Mignani analyzes the goal conceded: “We conceded a goal that hurt us, at that moment no one thought of conceding it. We believe we can go to Venice and reverse the result.”
The coach criticizes the final management: “It was too nervous a reaction. The match was then broken up, we should have managed the final minutes better. But the match was played in the right way. Maybe in the return leg the episode will be on our side.”
On the singles, Mignani explains: “I wanted to see the one-on-ones from Traoré that I see in training. Desplanches will be evaluated, I left him to the doctors. Lund? I think it’s nothing serious but he’s played a lot of matches.”
Finally, the message of confidence for the return leg: “You have to believe in it, then you have to score two more goals than them. We didn’t make too many mistakes: Venezia has a lot of physicality, but we managed to create something. The boys tried, I congratulate him. There is a possibility for us too.”
