Eugenio Corini uses Kobe Bryant as an example to beat Pisa

Eugenio Corini relies on Kobe Bryant to beat Pisa

Saturday at 2 p.m. Palermo will take on Pisa at the Barbera: “We are all working together as best we can to get out of this bad situation. We want to overcome these difficulties that we did not expect at the beginning. What made the situation difficult were the last two matches. I expected a growth in awareness, because we came from two weeks of very good work, when you are looking for identity, the team must try to find strength by shifting the inertia on their side,” Eugenio Corini said in a press conference.

“In the matches against Sudtirol and Ternana it was not done. The team was put under pressure, but we have the means and the will to get out of this situation. We worked on Pisa’s three-man construction, we worked on how to press their game construction. We are trying to figure out how to become faster and more effective up front, because at 25 meters from the goal they stop us. We have to react, put in everything we have and we can do it.”

There is a curious backstory related to the team’s mental preparation: “I showed the guys i showed a documentary of Kobe Bryant, to talk about his winning attitude, someone who knew how to get dirty, despite his extraordinary talent. I changed my mindset when I was 28, I already had the technique, and from there I became a beast. I don’t accept people talking about leaders, everyone is his own leader.”

“The team has been put under pressure, but we have the means and the will to get out of this situation. We have been working on Pisa’s three-man construction, we have been working on how to press their game construction. We are trying to figure out how to become faster and more effective up front, because 25 meters from the goal they stop us. We have to react, put in everything we have and we can do it,” Corini concluded.
