“Palermo, the contradiction is clear,” read the newspaper headline. Corriere dello Sport.
Palermo is ugly, contradictory and surrounded by a spiral of negativity in the square calling for Corini’s sacking. However, looking at the table, we realize that the team is third in the table with 23 points, has the best defense in the championship with 10 goals conceded and all the time needed to legitimize their ambitions of fighting to the end for promotion. to A. The contradiction is obvious. The dissatisfaction of the fans, according to whom Corini did not give the team either a game or an identity, is not true. And with the assessment of the group, which in any case has a rating in accordance with the company’s programs. If on the one hand it is necessary to take into account the dissatisfaction of the environment with the recent decline of the team, then on the other it is necessary to emphasize that, having numbers in hand, not everything can be thrown away.
IT’S BETTER AWAY FROM HOME. Just look at the external characteristics. Apart from the defeat they suffered in Genoa at the hands of Sampdoria, the Rosaneros have done very well away from home so far. After Cremonese, who finished first in the special ranking for external indicators with 16th place, the team led by Corini has currently scored the most points (13) in this Serie B championship. And together with Venezia it can also boast better external indicators. protection with 3 passive networks. Pigliacelli also has three clean sheets. A step that, after 6 away matches, already confirms the progress compared to last season, in which the Rosanero managed to keep a clean sheet only twice in 19 away matches. The balance between home and away games is currently tilted towards the second half. The error in Marassi ended a run of 5 useful results away from home: a draw in Bari and then 4 wins in a row (against Reggiana, Ascoli, Venezia and Modena), poker that has not been seen at the Rosanero table in Serie B since 2014. With Iachini on the bench in a season that ended with promotion.
PROSPECTS. Palermo’s positive performance away from home is also encouraging given the upcoming match in Terni after the break. Success at the Estadio Liberati could have the tinge of a turning point and at the same time strengthen the position of coach Corini, in whom, despite the negative moment and the intolerance of his surroundings, the hosts have renewed confidence. .
