Raphael Palladinocoach of Florentinegave an interview to Sky Sports shortly before the challenge of Conference League scheduled this evening at the house of St. Gallen:
Can Bove and Adli step up to Gudmundsson’s role?
“I confirm. Intelligent players who can also occupy other positions. Bove can also play as a winger and also play as a striker, as he will do this evening. The important thing is their connection and the occupation of space, which for us is fundamental. It’s the occupation of spaces that interests me and the boys are doing well. Tonight they will play a great match, the important thing is to have the right attitude. We are in a stadium that will be bedlam.”
What has changed since that match won against Lazio?
“I don’t want to take credit that I don’t have. Honestly, in that quarter of an hour I changed the game system. The team can do it and they have it in their hands. I changed a few performers, the credit went to the guys who had a different attitude. They thought they would get it back that match, but even before that it was growing. We only lost against Atalanta, still having one of the best performances. I was calm, I knew that the team would express itself and I was very confident. We just needed the results and the enthusiasm that is there now.”
