Palladino: “In my Fiorentina there are no starters and reserves. For penalties there is no hierarchy”

Raffaele Palladino, Fiorentina coachalso found himself having to deal with the internal hierarchies among the topics touched on in the press conference following the 2-1 victory over Lazio: “There is competition, those who are committed and show me that they want the starting shirt and are predisposed to work and application. I choose the first eleven but we have five substitutions available and today we had the demonstration that those who came in made the difference. Adli came in a little but as a great professional, ditto Ikone, Ranieri and Kouame. Here there are no starters and reserves, but only Fiorentina”.

Is there a hierarchy on penalties?
“No, not at the moment. I don’t know, even as a footballer I preferred to adjust with my teammates depending on the moment. I like this solidarity on the pitch. Gud kicks well, but he’s not the only one”.

What did you think about the break? How much do you feel you’ve grown?
“At the end of the first half I told the team to be more courageous, we were fearful… A bit of a middle ground and I don’t like that. Then we changed the system, we went to 4-2-3-1, a system that I like and that I also used last year in Monza. In life you grow through difficulties and I’m having a lot of them, I’m growing a lot, much more than I experienced in Monza. There I had two years in which everything was very beautiful: I’m grateful for the difficulties”.
