“Pandolfi opens the crisis of Palermo. It is not the club that Corini has challenged and is disappointed with,” read the newspaper headlines. Corriere dello Sport.
The stream of whistles that accompanies Palermo in the dressing rooms, as well as the protests of a large group of fans after the match, indicate a crisis that can now not be ignored at any level, including society. Three knockouts in the last 4 matches, a third defeat to Barbera since the start of the season, another unsuccessful match plus a disarming finish: the team was clearly on its feet, confused and scared, a goal from Cittadella in the air, arriving exactly in the 8th minute. injury time when Carissoni’s cross caught the gap from Pandolfi, who had already punished the rosanero in the same way 3 years ago when he played for Turris in C (0-1 in 20/21). Stop for thought. Corini was in the stands, suspended, and he too must have seen some of the confidence he wanted to restore disappear. He tried to suggest a more attentive team, confirming Koulibaly’s closeness to the strikers, and there was also some (small) progress in finding maneuver for a while. But at the end of the match, Kastrati didn’t actually make a single save, and the only regret was Koulibaly’s header from several steps away late in the first half.
To dose his energy, the coach restored faith in Insigne and Di Mariano, but without much result; the terrible decline of the 2nd half of the year, both physically and ideologically, cannot be explained solely by the midweek shift that occurred a few days ago. After an encouraging start (Palermo is still 3rd in the table!) the team fell apart and now the situation has become serious at the environmental level, primarily due to the calmness of the coach, who was challenged and discouraged by the non-club, who, however, left the club . he always simply presented the project, but from the fans it was already quite big. The break will have to serve as a restart, let’s see on what basis (return to the market in January?): There are still chances for an ambitious championship.
BEAUTIFUL CITADEL. The strong-willed and brilliant performance of the usual fearless Cittadella certainly also contributed to Rosanero’s downfall. Excellent play by Branca in midfield and the former Salvi on the flanks, mobile forwards, tactical ingenuity in understanding and exploiting the anxiety of an opponent who was starved of oxygen in the last half hour and no longer understood anything. Palermo have squandered points and enthusiasm; they need to be given a clear signal to resume play.
