Alessio Dionisi, coach of Palermo, released some statements in the press conference after the 1-3 victory against Juve Stabia:
“If we look at the game from the point of view of the result. We have to suffer less and create more. Difficult environment, we wanted to take the lead. In the second half we only gave them space by dropping too deep. Two forced substitutions but we were good at raising the center of gravity. Those who come in do well thanks also to the starters”.
“I try to be fair, you succeed more when you win. We lost a game where we deserved the three points, this game was decided by episodes. Today was a difficult game, not to be feared but we respected it. Difficult pitch for many teams. I am very happy with the result, we can improve in terms of performance”.
“First of all, I would like to see a team on the field. In some situations, you have to defend all together and we have to improve on this. We were good at being a team, positive result away from home. I thought the same things after a defeat, we are a team but we have to improve on an offensive and defensive level”.
“Jeremy was little known in Italian football, a player who raises the level of the team. Happy with his arrival, he approached the match well, also thanks to his teammates. He will certainly have an impact”.
“Football is like that, sometimes you create a lot without finding the way to the goal. I can’t change people’s minds, on certain aspects I could have been satisfied with Cosenza. Today we fought and we were good. On the first goal the captain did well to insert himself. We have to recognize ourselves as a team”.
“7 points in 5 games? You should never be satisfied. The team wants and must work, we have the right mindset. The one who came in today is a starter and must consider himself as such. How you approach the game is important but it always depends on how you finish”.
“If you play lightly you go on the wings of enthusiasm, you have to be always positive and negative. In some situations we are cynical like today sometimes it happens not. If you are a team you recognize and get results. Today I will not remember it as the best match of this start of the season, we could have done better after the lead and also at the beginning of the second half”.
“For a quality team, you have to leave some players out and make choices. It’s not easy to make choices also because the game changes during the course. I would have made some changes later if there hadn’t been forced situations. We can improve tactically, offensively and defensively. Results are the best cure. They make you feel lighter than when you play with heaviness. Important result in a difficult moment, long championship but we have to be good”.
“Blen? It’s unlikely he’ll be available in a week. I hope to get him back.”
