http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rodrigo-c31437 Palacio, the former Genoa central striker, showed his versatility for the San Siro side by keeping in goal for the last 15 minutes of the Coppa Italia tie.
The Argentine international has been a real team player for his entire playing career, going beyond his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 duties to help out the team, whether they need help in midfield or while defending. However, his discipline and dedication makes him a player that
each head coach in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 would desire; but, asides from that quality, he is also an extremely versatile player and he showed his versatility in the match against Chievo Verona in the fifth round of the Coppa Italia.
While Internazionale were leading by a 2-0 margin, the goalkeeper of the Nerazzurri outfit, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luca-Castellazzi-c22508, suffered from a knock and had to be stretchered off the field of play. With the Beneamata outfit already having made all the requisite substitutions
were left with no choice but to choose one of their outfield players to fill in the boots of the goalkeeper.
The last 16 minutes were played with Internazionale fielding 10 players and their attacker in goal and the Argentinean proved to be extremely handy with his keeping as well, as he made a couple of good saves in the process as well. While commenting on the
match and the situation that developed once the match was played, he went on to state that there were several options available to the head coach of the Nerazzurri outfit. He remarked that even though the team was not lacking in option when the time came for
a player to keep the goals, he remarked that Strama choose between him and Ricky Alvarez, and stated:
“I made a great save. Initially http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-Chivu-c9519 said he would go in goal, but then the Coach asked me or Ricky Alvarez to go in. I had played in goal a few times as a kid, but luckily it was only for 15 minutes this time. We were leading 2-0 so we felt a
bit comfortable, but it was important to win the match.”
The Nerazzurri outfit have qualified for the quarter finals of the Coppa Italia.
