MdP: “Cittadella, Crusade in the field. Gorini: “We must recover””

“Citadel, Campo Gorini Crusade: ‘We Must Rebuild'”, caption Morning Padua on newsstands today.

Crusade yes, Perticone ni. Edoardo Gorini will only release the squad this morning, but the closing session in front of Cittadella-Palermo this afternoon leaves such sensations: the bomber midfielder, a native of the Sicilian capital, will be at least on the bench, but possibly immediately on the field. and the defender could rest. “Cruzata feels good, he will be called. Obviously I have to decide whether to start it from the beginning without having much training under my belt, while Perticon’s situation should be assessed as he suffers from muscle fatigue in the adductors.”

In the first round, Tombolato became a taboo, in the second round he always brought you points, and the goals conceded come down to two won matches with Regina: could he become your fortress? “I know the internal performance data, but frankly, I don’t want to give it too much weight because our attitude is always the same, both at home and away. Rather, it depends on opponents, who are usually more attentive away from home. What is certain is that we need to recover from the fall in Ferrara.”

Palermo has come out of four leagues in a row, and thanks to the partnership with Padua, it will have at least 1,500 supporters. How do you expect it? “It’s a very strong team. He was already there, but in January he introduced elements of a higher category, starting with Werre, who matters in the center of the field. Regardless of what the last draws say, he is in great shape and deserved to win in Pisa: He has the qualities of a foot player who is very dangerous on the counter.

This is the Palermo who wins when Brunori scores and loses when he scores: is he the man to be feared the most? “He is their top scorer and he was also last season in Serie C, we are talking about a striker who has goals in his blood. Of course there are other players to keep an eye on, like Di Mariano or Soleri.”

If Perticone does not survive, it will be Del Fabro’s turn to support Frare: how did you see him in Ferrara? “He is a very physically structured defender, the more games he plays, the more he is able to cover distances. Last year he always played and even at the beginning of the season he often went on the field, then his form fell and I changed him to others, but he is a man who knows how to do his job. And he proved it.”

In addition to Pavan, Salvi will be suspended: could Vita’s departure be a solution, given that Palermo’s 3-5-2 formation uses a lot of one-on-one wingers? “That’s the right option, even if it’s true that we’re missing some players in the middle of the field, so I’ll have to consider whether it’s better to put Vita in the back or in front, given that we still have a full-back, Mattioli.”

Have you set roadmaps for this stage? “I know I’m talking trite things, but we have to think match after match without counting, also because in this championship you can win or lose against everyone.”
