Palermo, Corini in the match with Spezia: “Strong opponent, still a long way to go”

Eugenio Corinithe Palermo coach, presented tomorrow’s home match with Spezia at a press conference today that will conclude the program of the 10th round of Serie B, starting with summing up the situation with the available or unavailable players for the match: “Di Mariano completed all of yesterday’s training, then he had a problem. He passed tests that confirmed the injury, he is unavailable, we want him to recover before the next break. The boy feels well after surgery on the meniscus. To compensate there were some problems, we hope that he will find continuity. We have a lot of faith in him, he performed well when he played. Koulibaly is injured and we hope to have him back before the break. Buttaro is back, we are in the final stages.”

He then focuses on Spezia’s form: “The opponents are strong and quality, they haven’t lost in the last three games and have come out of a difficult moment.

We know we need to put on a great performance to beat Spezia. Stulak and Gomes can play together, this is an option for the match with Spezia. We still have a lot to believe in, but we are on the right track. There is still a long way to go, even in the 2003/04 season there were difficulties. We have started well, but we still have a lot to do. We represent a glorious club that has many desires, even with Spezia there will be many fans; we cannot afford to be superficial.”
