The coach also commented on the recent visit of club president Rocco Commisso: “He’s brought a lot of positive energy. It’s fundamental for us to have him here. Those who know him understand how much enthusiasm he can bring. We want to go on the field to give satisfaction to the club and the fans.”
Regarding their upcoming opponents, Palladino expressed respect for Lazio and their coach: “They’re in good health and very well coached by Baroni, whom I know and respect. We’re ready, we’ve prepared very well for this match.”
