Palermo captain Andrea Barzagli says the players haven't had much time to consider the dismissal of coach Stefano Colantuono this week.
Barzagli said: "We are all sorry for the coach and his staff. But in football, the person who pays when things do not go well is always the coach.
"The team is calm and now we are thinking only about preparing well for the derby. In all of us there is a great desire for redemption because we want to show that Palermo is not what collapsed in Turin."
