On the eve of the match against Palermo, coach Luca D'Angelo commented on the team's current situation: "The team is in good physical shape, the players have recovered and, apart from Bandinelli and Zurkowski, everyone is available again, including Candelari.
The team is not happy at the moment because the results are not positive, but in training the lads are leaving nothing to chance and are very focused. In Reggio Emilia, with equal numbers, it was a one-sided game, then in the second half, after the sending-off, the team struggled, partly because at the moment we are particularly affected by every negative incident, and it is up to us to find a way to change this.
The fans are always behind us. We are not giving them the satisfaction they deserve, but they are doing their part as always. It is up to us to do ours.
Palermo is a very strong team. We know that there will be opponents who will do everything to get the result. It will be up to us to put the right countermeasures in place and take to the pitch with the right attitude.
Tactical changes? We always work to be ready to do something different, and we did well in Reggio Emilia, especially in the first half. Then, in the second half, with ten men, the game became primarily defensive. First and foremost, we have to make sure we finish games with eleven men, which is especially important now.
Lapadula? He's fine, I'm very confident in the contribution he can make and we'll see how to use him. In goal? I have some good options, we'll see who to field tomorrow.
In the first half in Reggio, we pushed very well, making a lot of crosses compared to other matches, and we did well to bring on Candela, who has only just arrived.
Cistana and Fellipe Jack, as well as Onofri, are all players who are doing well, so we will choose Hristov's replacement based on the match ahead of us.
Mental problems? From my analysis, I exclude Venice, where we were down to 10 men early on, but in recent games we have approached matches better, both in the Coppa Italia and at the Mapei Stadium, and I am convinced that ours is a strong team that can play well tomorrow against a very strong side like Palermo.
At the moment, I'm not looking at the table. Obviously, I know it's not pretty to look at, but now we have to do our best in every game, regardless of how many points we have.
How do I feel? I am well aware of the variety of emotions involved in football. It is part of my job to deal with both applause and boos, and it is up to me to do everything possible to avoid moments like the current one, where things are not going well and it is certainly right to receive some well-deserved boos".
