“When I came to this stadium as a Coach I always met with difficulty because the stadium was packed.
“The help of the fans will be essential, because we expect the most difficult match of the group and the most important of the two years.
“If we don’t beat Albania, it would become very difficult to win the group, not even winning in Spain would be enough.
“Palermo has always shown great affection for the national team, and I hope Italy’s game will be a good omen for the club, which is going through a difficult time.”
