19.07 – Raffaele Palladino’s press conference begins.
What kind of Fiorentina do you have in your hands?
“It’s obvious that it’s my Fiorentina, from the first day I set foot at Viola Park. It’s a reconstruction, it’s obvious that it takes a bit of time. We’re growing day after day. There’s participation from the lads, a great team attitude. I’m calm about this. It takes a bit of time for the automatisms to settle in, going through the difficulties, the criticisms and the moments when you can’t do things. But that’s where we grow together.”
What does Adli bring to the midfield?
“He is a strong player who played for Milan and comes from a great team. He has personality and is a great setter. He brings us technical quality, dynamism and unpredictability. He is an important player for us, we are happy that he came to Florence”.
What does this match mean to you?
“We came here to advance to the next round. We know that we will face a team that will try to put us in difficulty because for them it is a historic match. We have prepared well for this match and tomorrow I want to see a team that takes the field with a fierce attitude, those who take the field must have personality because we want to advance to the next round in the Conference”.
How do you handle the many market rumors? Has anyone been influenced by the market rumors?
“You talk about the flu, no one has the flu (smiles). They are all focused on tomorrow’s match. Those who are here want to fight to get through to the next round. It’s obvious that the transfer market is part of this period. Those who are not here are involved in these transfer market situations. There are only a few days left, now we must not think about that but about what we have to do tomorrow”.
