What’s going on at Monza? Palladino’s team, after an important start in the league, has shut down, and there are already those who speak of a crisis.
In the last five matches, Palladino’s Monza has suffered three defeats, achieved a draw and only one victory: to get back on track, it must win against Mazzarri’s Napoli. It will not be easy. Gianluca Galliani, entrepreneur, former musician, manager and son of Monza president Adriano Galliani, is aware of this, and he spoke live at the microphones of TvPlay to talk about the particular moment the Brianzoli are going through.
Palladino is a coach in crisis? This is the question that resonates on the eve of the difficult challenge against Napoli. The Azzurri are also coming from a bad moment. “I expected such a difficult post-Scudetto for Napoli, as it was at the time with Milan,” Galliani Jr. said, however. “After such an important season, the risk that we could have a negative rebound is high. Then having lost Spalletti and Giuntoli I expected there could be problems, although I honestly did not think of such a situation.”
“Nevertheless, Napoli has a great team,” the interviewee continued. “Of course, sometimes you get caught up in moments, but knowing that you can count on players like Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia I think is always good for a fan. I think Naples will soon find a balance because it is a formation that has important values. “
According to Galliani’s son, Palladino’s team will not arrive at the top at the challenge against Napoli, but it is ungenerous to speak of a crisis. “Monza does not arrive in Naples with a calm head since we are coming off two consecutive defeats. We have a complicated schedule: after playing Milan and Fiorentina, now Napoli, Frosinone and Inter are waiting for us. So it’s normal to drop points against such well-equipped teams.”
However, according to Gianluca Galliani, Monza is equipped to face anyone. “With Fiorentina in my opinion we lost with a bit of bad luck, that’s all. “
Galliani jr on Palladino’s crisis: “Monza will play with an open mind even against Napoli. “
“With Napoli it will be a good match between two teams that always play open-faced. I expect an entertaining match… Both Mazzarri and Palladino play an offensive game,” the interviewee continued. “The beauty of our league is that all teams always try to play it even against the big ones. Napoli has a great roster. Going to the Maradona to play with Napoli, it’s always a dream because three years ago to think about something like that was a utopia. “
After that, the interviewee defended Palladino. “Just losing three games in a row is enough to change the judgments and opinions about a coach. If at the end of the season everyone wants Palladino it means that Monza will have had a great championship… Right now all the people working with us are thinking about the good of this team and getting the goals set.”
“The strongest player I saw was Marco Van Basten,” Galliani’s son later recounted. “Then in general Maradona, Messi and Ronaldo. I was lucky enough to see many of them. The one I loved the most was perhaps Baresi. Then there is Maldini. My father with his players has always created a father-son relationship.”
A final joke on the possibility of seeing Galliani at Napoli. “My father has been called by big international clubs but he has always been linked to Berlusconi and would never go to other teams without the president by his side. “
