They were phically better

Hi everybody,

I'm very sorry for yesterday's defeat against Palermo, above all because it was so important for us to score at least one point after our latest results.

Basically, our defeat was caused both by our careless mistakes (even though Miccoli scored such a nice goal) and by our not being able to keep their pace.

We didn't have any substitute players available in the half of the field; just Marrone. We played a good game in the first half of the match, but we were always half a second late during the second half.

Today, I'm about to join Mr. Lippi's National Team training-camp in preparation for Wednesday's friendly-match against Camerun.

Giorgio
