Palladino’s report cards: he wins the dirtiest match with desire. And the sky is always bluer

“The dirtiest game wins.” This would be enough to justify the 6.5 which La Gazzetta dello Sport assigned to Raffaele Palladino after the 1-0 of Florentine in Genoa, but the rosy mood goes further: “What a confusion, but what a desire. And the sky is always bluer”. For Tuttosport the Viola don’t particularly shine at the home of the bottom of the class and he doesn’t go beyond 6: “Narrow victory against a complicated Genoa. Fiorentina continues their positive streak, but this time suffering a lot”. Great appreciation instead for the Corriere dello Sportevidenced by the 7.5: “Only Napoli and Inter ahead in the standings after ten matchdays: that’s enough to enjoy a less brilliant, but still winning, Fiorentina this time”. Same vote for FlorenceViola: “Obliged to do without Kean, he moves Bove back in the middle next to Richardson and relaunches Sottil on the left in the line of three behind Kouamè. In the first half, Genoa are placed on the field very differently from Roma and it is not easy to find spaces, especially more without Kean’s references in attack. After a quarter of an hour of the second half he calls Richardson and tries the Adli card which works because Fiorentina also passes thanks to the former Milan player. Mandragora and Ikonè also enter for Bove and Colpani in the end, in addition to Ikonè and Biraghi, there is room for Rubino’s debut. In a complicated evening, the reading in the second half becomes a winner by adding the quality of Adli. Having to do without Kean, the success that extends the positive streak is very heavy as much as the one on Sunday against Roma”. Finally it is from 7 per TMW: “His Fiorentina shows personality and tactical organisation. Compact, organized and cynical team at the right point. They get the changes right at the right time and take home three fundamental points for the Champions League. Sixth victory in a row between the championship and the Conference League”.
