“We’ve beaten many big names in the championship and tomorrow we want to finish on a high against Juventus. The two saves are worth two championships”
Monza no longer has anything to ask for from this championship, but Raffaele Palladino wants to end the season well and then think about the future. “We beat great teams, all the big ones and tomorrow we will have to try to finish on a high note – explained the coach of the Brianza club -. My future? The end of the championship is almost over and you will know my decision at the beginning of June“. “There are still many pages of Monza to be written, and I am sure they will be beautiful”, he added.
“The first day I arrived here, Serie A was a dream and today it is reality – continued Palladino -. We have never been at risk of relegation and we have provided continuity“. Then some considerations rewinding the tape of memories of this season and beyond. “The whole journey from last season up to this year makes me proud. The two salvations are equivalent to two championships – explained the Monza coach -. A great job was done, we were a big family. I wouldn’t speak of regret but mistakes have been made such as going behind too many times.” “Football puts you in front of situations that give you shivers, I really believe in destiny and it’s no coincidence that I started my journey here with Juventus and finish this season with the same team,” he continued.
“Montero’s Juventus? I think he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in the world of football, it may seem paradoxical but it’s true. I have fantastic memories of Montero – continued the red and white coach -. Going from the Primavera to the first team is not easy but I think this sort of barrier has been broken regarding the leap from young players to seniors.” “For the match against Juventus we only recovered Andrea Carboni who should come with us while the others are still out”, he added speaking of the men available.
Then space for thanks. “I really thanked everyone, from the staff to the warehouse workers, to the cooks, to the gardeners – said Palladino -. Everyone who gave a great contribution. We’re sorry about this last month and a halfI’ve heard some criticism but the team never gave up. I guarantee it.”
As for the coach’s choices for Euro 2024 and the lack of Monza playersPalladino then does not go too far: “I am not the technical commissioner of the national team, Luciano Spalletti is very good and knows how to do his job which is not easy. He will have made his assessments and choices, we have done everything to bring them back into the national orbit“.
Finally Atalanta chapter: “I supported Atalanta and enjoyed the match. I am very happy that an Italian coach has returned to winning in Europe.”
