In an interview with Calcio2000, Palermo playmaker Fabrizio Miccoli, who is recovering from an injury, said: "My dream is to win something here at Palermo, not matter if it is the Italian League cup or the Europa League Cup. I want to make the fans happy".

On Cavani: "He made a choice, which is always personal, but frankly speaking I don't think that going from Palermo to Napoli is not a big improvement. I wouldn't have done it"

On the young Hernandez: "He will be a champions, I have no doubt. If he keeps on working like he's doing now and follow the advice of the senior players like me, Migliaccio and Liverani, he'll become a phenomenon"
