The coach’s words at the end of the match against Empoli, which finished 2-1 for the red and white thanks to goals from Ciurria and Izzo. Several considerations by Palladino satisfied with the performance of his:
“It was a great victory, deserved because it was balanced against an excellent opponent. I was worried from a psychological point of view after the defeat against Salernitana and instead, after we broke up, we came out great. Too bad we didn’t do it immediately the second goal and in the second half we started contracted. The goal made us react well, even the substitutions and who came on. Great match, Petagna and Caprari skilled as first defenders. They sacrificed themselves, they deserve compliments for how they helped the team.
Call-ups to the national team in anticipation? There is a very good coach like Mancini that I met in Coverciano. There are many very good Italians and it would be simplistic to name names. Monza as a whole is doing well. Ciurria was the surprise, for me and for this championship. Pessina is a confirmation and deserves to be in the national team and this year Izzo, after what he had experienced in Turin, has raised his level a lot. Sensi is also important, everyone can aspire to Italy. I hope as much as possible because for us at Monza it’s a pride. Galliani went to pray at the Cathedral, he gives meaning to our victories.
Izzo? We are great friends, I love him as a footballer and humanly. I have known him and his family for years, I know how much he has suffered in recent years. He deserves these satisfactions and I think Monza can hold on to him until the next championship.”
