Palladino’s is a great Fiorentina. A Viola that allows you to dream, the one that collected the seventh consecutive victory in Serie A in Como, thus putting together the second best streak of consecutive successes in the championship in the history of the Tuscan club. If they also win against Inter next Sunday, they would equal the absolute record of 1960 which still stands.
One aspect that is making Fiorentina great is certainly their defensive solidity. And on today’s pages of Il Corriere Fiorentino much emphasis is given to the strength of the rear guard. As the newspaper highlights: the purple drawbridge has been raised, away from the Franchi, for 527 minutes, the equivalent of five and a half games, over two months of the championship without conceding a goal in the opposing stadiums. A tour of Italy that started from the second half in Bergamo, touched Empoli and Lecce, Genoa and Turin and reached the shores of Lake Como, where Senigallia became yet another theater in which to confirm the entire Serie The intentions of this collective are: four victories in a row with four clean sheets away from home which, moreover, had never been recorded in the history of Fiorentina.
In the last three championships, Fiorentina had always conceded 17 goals after 13 matchdays, while this year they have only conceded 10 goals.
