After the match against Palermo, head coach Luca D’Angelo spoke to the press: “We conceded the first goal from a free kick that wasn’t even struck that well by Palumbo, and the second came from a deflected ball we didn’t deal with properly. Of course, we made mistakes you just can’t afford against a strong side like Palermo. The numbers show we’re giving up too much on set pieces. We’ve made some adjustments, but clearly, we still need to work harder on that, because lately we’ve been punished almost every time in those situations, even on plays we’ve prepared for.
Is my time here over? That’s a question for the Club. I believe I can lead this team out of this situation, but in sports, you don’t get to decide everything yourself, there’s always someone above you making decisions, and right now results haven’t been good. I think there’s still time and a way to turn things around if I’m allowed to continue. If not, I’ll accept whatever decision is made. Just as I came here quietly, I’ll leave the same way, without causing any trouble. This is a great club, full of good people, and the squad is made up of a lot of good guys too. But again, it’s not my call. All I can do is work on the pitch.
I’m convinced the team will get through this moment. It’s a good group that’s simply not performing to its potential right now. Even in the last two games, we’ve gotten much less than we deserved, because today, too, we didn’t deserve to lose.
I’m someone who loves working on the field. I’m not a motivator or a drill sergeant, I’m a coach who studies the opponent and tries to guide his players by giving them as much useful information as possible. Clearly, something’s been missing lately, and we need to do better. But once again, Sarr barely had to make a save for long stretches today, and we should have at least taken a point.
After matches, I’m not one to talk much. I think everyone should process the sadness of a loss in their own way. I always stay calm, no matter the result, but I believe it’s right to let the players have their space, to cool down, and then regroup when we’re back at work.
The desire to equalize was there today. We conceded in the 43rd minute of the first half, while we were playing the right kind of game and always threatening on the break. That goal was a real pity. The fans supported us, before, during, and after the match, they saw that the players gave everything they had. But to get through moments like this, we need unity. The path becomes a lot smoother when everyone pushes together".
