Fiorentina, no farewell for Sottil: Palladino wants to make him a linchpin of his 3-4-2-1

This will be Riccardo Sottil’s year at Fiorentina. A mantra repeated too many times, but which can finally find a concrete confirmation. The winger born in ’99, according to what is reported by Sports Courierconvinced the new coach from the first days Raphael Palladino. It is no coincidence that he was the one who nipped in the bud any transfer rumours regarding the player who grew up in the Viola youth system.

The former Monza coach, in fact, sees Sottil as the perfect winger for his 3-4-2-1 and is convinced that he can bring out in him the potential that is clearly present but not fully expressed so far in his career. It must be said that the person directly concerned has put a lot of his own effort into immediately entering into the good graces of his new coach. Having closed the season with a collarbone injury, he worked hard even on vacation to get over it and showed up at the retreat as one of the fittest right from the start.

Furthermore, with Beltran and Nico Gonzalez out having just concluded the Copa America, Kean just arrived while Nzola and Ikoné are looking for a new placement, Sottil will inevitably have a lot of space in the next summer tests of Fiorentina. The winger born in ’99 can therefore definitively take the lily shirt, after years lived with more shadows, injuries and bad performances than lights.
