The Italian Cup penalty shootout won and advanced, Da Inzaghi: I want to coach in Palermo for a few years and achieve something

In the first round of the Italian Cup held in the early morning of this morning, Palermo defeated Cremona 5-4 in the penalty shootout. Palermo coach Dainzaji was interviewed after the game.

Inzaghi became Palermo coach in June this year. This game is the first official game he led Palermo to participate in. Facing the Serie A newly promoted Cremona, Palermo, who played away, did not lose the ball, with a 51% possession rate. The team shot 7 times and two of them were aiming, both higher than Cremona. The two teams drew 0-0 in regular time. Palermo made all five free throws in the penalty shootout, while Cremona forward Dennis Johnson missed the penalty kick. In the end, Palermo won 5-4 in the penalty shootout and successfully advanced to the second round of the Italian Cup.

Greenzagi first said: "Our team has been working together for a short time, but we won at home on a Serie A team. I'm very happy with the result, it was our first step, but we haven't achieved anything yet. Our goalkeepers didn't even make a real save in the game, and it's not easy to do this against a Serie A team. Victory helps the team continue to win. It's not enough to just be with me, I want the players to know that we have a team that can control this level and we have to keep going. In this state."

Green Inzaghi continued: "In the past month, I have been working hard to improve the team's performance without the ball, because this team needs to be more compact and we need to increase our physical reserves. In the previous warm-up match against Manchester City, I have seen the team perform very well, although the opponent is a super strong team. Being able to compete with higher-level teams is a good start."

Green Inzaghi coached Pisa last season and successfully promoted to Serie A, but he resigned from Pisa this summer and was invited to coach Palermo, who is still in Serie B. Inzaghi said: "I am very happy to do my current job. I don't care about the league level. Even after coaching Milan, I went to Serie C to start coaching again, and that was one of the best moments in my coaching career." Inzaghi said: "I want to go to teams that need me to coach. I hope Palermo will be a finishing point. I hope to coach here for a few years and achieve something. Although I have not achieved anything, the people here have given me unexpected love. I hope to do my job well, and I don't want to exaggerate it, because in football, players are the key to success or failure."
