About the Game
“The positive moment is going on, we’re satisfied with our performance, and we thank all the supporters who were here welcoming and celebrating us on our return. We want to continue this way, fighting as hard as we can to stay where we are. We need to forget immediately yesterday’s win, which gave us three points, and concentrate on Bari. We’re not used to cameras and spotlights, but it’s one side of the job”.
“I could have never imagined such a match, but we had worked to take the field with courage and personality. I’m proud, many beautiful words have been said about us. On Sunday my boys have made me look so good in a place where I was loved once. The result is a once-in-a-lifetime one, they were the protagonists”.
About Next Game against Bari
“Yet a tough opponent to face with all the determination we can use. I’m expecting a proud, vivid team. It’s going to be a difficult match, as all the Serie A ones. It’s a test-bed, we have to prove we’re mature enough”.
About Alexis Sanchez
“He has to go on this way, focusing on the work he’s doing. He’s giving more as an attacking midfielder than as an outside, he has to run between the lines and act during the non-possession phase, to press the opponents, I don’t want him to be a striker. I found a game plan which I try to render more and more harmonic and operational”.

Udinese destroy Palermo at Serie A Week 27 with Score 7-0
Francesco Guidolin - Udinese Coach
“At a certain point, we really took our foot off the accelerator,”
“The respect I have for Delio Rossi, for Palermo and this city goes well beyond the final result. It was a nasty thrashing for them, but it will pass.
“I believe it is only a bump in the road for the Rosanero, while for us it is proof that we are in great shape.”
“We’re not hiding our Champions League ambitions and have made that clear since we secured safety. We’ll see what happens from here on in, without setting limits and without getting drunk on success.
“This is a wonderful victory, but even a 7-0 result is still worth only three points.”
Delio Rossi - Palermo Coach
“It is purely my fault, but I am not resigning or ‘firing’ myself.”
“It’s difficult to comment on a 7-0 scoreline. It means you didn’t prepare the game properly and took the wrong approach, especially going down so quickly,”
“I am the Coach, I sent the team out, so if we lose 7-0 then I have to take responsibility. It is purely my fault and I release the players of all blame.”
“I’ve been at risk since the moment I started my Coaching career, so imagine now! What are my chances of staying on the bench next week? That’s down to the club and I never forget I am an employee.”
“When you lose 7-0, someone has to be responsible and naturally it is the Coach. I am not firing myself here. I am a fighter and in football you can win or lose. We have done well this season and are in a good position in the table, but this is an aberration.”
“We probably relaxed, as this side can beat the best in Italy, but at the same time today this Palermo would’ve lost against anyone. There is in no way a seven-goal gap between us and Udinese.”
Maurizio Zamparini - Palermo President
“Rossi has a one per cent chance of staying on the bench, you can bet on that,”
“The team has been completely destroyed. He ruined my Palermo. Rossi has destroyed this squad.
“I asked the Coach to fix the defence and he did not do it. Instead, he took off Ezequiel Munoz, who is the best player in the back line. We cannot play like this.
"I'll think it over tonight and at most tomorrow morning, but I am seriously considering handing the side to the youth team Coach. I should've kicked Rossi out at Christmas."
