After his farewell to Palermo, Leandro Rinaudo held a press conference this morning, releasing the following words:
“In football, young and experienced teams have won, but also teams that have spent a lot and others that have spent little. In football, there is no winning formula. They thought of bringing in people who have won the championship. Pressure? I don’t understand it and I don’t accept this word. I took a step back when things were going well and sent signals when the team left amid boos. I protected Eugenio because he led the team and I would do it again. I saw a great worker just like I did with Mignani. Many have said that when Palermo scored I hugged Eugenio and almost kissed him on the mouth, I did the same with Mignani, for me it could be the worst enemy but I would have done it with him too. There is no winning formula. You have to take the pressure out of everyone’s mind. I would go and play at Favorita now. I played at Entella and I asked my agent to leave after 3 days because I couldn’t find the motivation. I thought I couldn’t give what I had given elsewhere. In Bari with Nicola I was reborn, the pressure must not exist. It’s wonderful to play football and do it in front of 30,000 people.”
