The technical jury that voted was composed of journalists Marco Bellinazzo, Xavier Jacobelli, Carlo Laudisa, Sara Meini, Sandro Sabatini, Ciro Venerato, and Alessandro Sugoni.  <\/p>\n\n<p>ONLY CAGLIARI ON OUR MIND<br\/>&#8220;The focus is solely on Cagliari,&#8221; he explained to the media present at the event, &#8220;because the fans, staff, and teammates deserve it. For the future, we&#8217;ll see what the best decision is. I owe so much to Coach Pisacane and the teammates I&#8217;ve met on this adventure. Cagliari and Sardinia have changed my life and career with so many positive aspects on and off the pitch, so many friendships and connections, a fundamental step for me. I think I still have a lot to improve in all technical aspects, but here I&#8217;ve gained important knowledge for the future and built something solid that I&#8217;ll always carry with me,&#8221; Palestra continued in the mixed zone. &#8220;The road is still long. I started playing professionally two years ago and I have a lot to develop. Now I&#8217;m only focused on Cagliari and staying up, the most important thing. The rumors about me are nice, but I don&#8217;t follow them too much.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p>TOWARDS ATALANTA<br\/>&#8220;I have many friends there, it&#8217;s the environment where I grew up. We&#8217;re coming off a good performance, even if it didn&#8217;t go well in terms of the result, and we&#8217;re already thinking about next Monday to get some crucial points. Inter are a strong team, we knew that, we gave our all, but it wasn&#8217;t enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>ITALY OUT OF THE WORLD CUP<br\/>&#8220;It \u200b\u200bwas a tough blow, but we need to get back on track. We have a great team, and I noticed that right away. I&#8217;m convinced that with time and hard work, we&#8217;ll all get back on our feet together. After Bosnia, there were difficult days, where we had to reflect and sadly think back on that evening, thinking back at home about what went wrong. Then we move on and focus on Cagliari, which is the most important thing because we have to stay up.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21083,"template":"","tags":[1209],"news_cat":[280,278,276,274],"class_list":["post-23866","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-marco-palestra","news_cat-interviews","news_cat-new-in","news_cat-latest-news","news_cat-first-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
