Daniele Pradè comes back to attack Vincenzo Italiano. The sports director of Florentinebeaten by Bologna from the former Gigliato coach: “The first thought ever goes to Raffaele (Palladino, Viola coach, who lost his mother today, ed.) and to his family. We were close to him, but it was a strange day, with the coach he had to leave and the boys embraced him, it was a special day with a particular atmosphere. In the first half we could have scored, there was a clear penalty that wasn’t given, in the second half they did better.”
In the second half Fiorentina was blocked by a slightly different management.
“Yes, in the second half they approached the match differently, I always say that the balance is so great that an episode like that could change everything. Honestly, I didn’t like Italiano’s behaviour, even towards Palladino, the exultation in that way… It’s something we will remember: so many joys and so many sorrows together, what I saw today made me understand so much about the man.”
You gave it your all on the pitch to get back into the game.“Yes, but by now it was a dirty match, an episode was needed and the pitch was in terrible condition. Unfortunately our streak is interrupted, but morale remains high: tomorrow we will be with the coach and then we will think about the trip to Portugal.”
