“Never in doubt for City Group. Corini: “Palermo, the group matters,” the magazine headlined Corriere dello Sport.
To call them second lines would be to detract from both their value and the concept of the group that Corini and the dressing room are working so hard to develop, but certainly players who weren’t normally used in the starting line-up shone more in the Rosanero’s return to winning ways on Wednesday everyone. At least six were not part of the starting 11 that had been badly defeated in Genoa four days earlier: Coulibaly and Valente, who had come on from the first minute and were decisive in the scoring, as well as Marconi, Di Mariano, Buttaro and the usual Soleri.
Signal. This was an important signal especially for the coach, who, during a difficult period, received comforting feedback from the attitude of the team, in particular from those who, having played less, could be considered dissatisfied and less motivated. The call to a single team was not a cry in the wind, but found concreteness in the performances, at least in terms of sincerity and purposefulness, and this aspect is especially valued in the company’s assessments, including in relation to the position of the coach, who was never in question for City Group. Palermo has lost the enthusiasm of the first days, is not playing very well, but is again in third place in the standings, which absolutely corresponds to their plans.
“Catastrophism,” as Corini defined it, does not help: “Problems are solved by work and togetherness,” repeated the coach (suspended for Wednesday’s red card, he will not be on the bench with Cittadella) after the match against Brescia.
The old guard. Ivan Marconi has not played since August 12 in Bari, then benched 10 in a row; Nicola Valente was in his first start but was hampered by injuries and the arrival of two top signings such as Insigne and Di Francesco; Di Mariano, a very young boy, missed 6 matches due to muscle problems; for Buttaro, see Marconi. All Rosanero players have been proving their usefulness in difficult times for several seasons now. Valente has been on the pitch for a total of around 150 minutes and is already the Rosanero’s top assistant, tied with Mancuso and Henderson. Their immediate return is a guarantee of Palermo’s competitiveness.
