From Honduras with fury, the former coach of Pisa, now a globetrotter, Mario Petrone, commented on the situation at the Nerazzurri. The Neapolitan coach, after an experience in Ecuador, is now training the Hondurans of Real Sociedad in the top flight of the Central American state championship and is in a moment of pause between the opening tournament and the cloistered one, with the aim of salvation. “Serie B is an anomalous and difficult championship – admits Petrone, referring to the situation at the Nerazzurri -. I think it is normal to stumble as happened to the Nerazzurri.” The trust in the work of the club with which they remained good relations, after the separation, is undeniable: “Chiellini’s arrival convinced me and I also considered the idea of a partial change of the squad to be a valid choice – continues Petrone -. Pisa is endowed with young and experienced players of quality and can afford, from a managerial point of view, to have a vision of the future “. The former Pisa coach reflects on Lorenzo Lucca: “For his career I think he is better than Pisa – confides Petrone -, because here he can do everything he would already find from a Serie A club from the point of view of structures, growing calmly” . The defeat of Pisa does not in the least affect the objectives of the club: “Now is the time to amortize these three expulsions – admits Petrone -. To overcome this moment it will be necessary to concentrate and also to create unpredictability for the opponents”. Finally, the coach reflected on Yonatan Cohen, Pisa’s most important investment: “The integration of a player is often subjective – declared Petrone -. Cohen is the only boy coming from that geographical area and has played in Israel. Pisa has the goal of making it grow and then become salable at European level. We need to give it time to fit in at best – concludes Petrone – I also speak from personal experience, we try to take those two or three players from the same country, so that they can make less effort to integrate. “.
