The coach Cesare Prandelli gave a long interview to Corriere dello Sportduring which he touched on various topics. Starting from Dusan Vlahovic, a sort of footballing creature of his, having launched him as a starter in his time at Fiorentina.
About Serbian he says: “It was very simple, I freed his animal instinct. My idea is that an attacker must think first of all about scoring. If defending leads him to lose sensitivity in front of goal, then there is something to review. The coaches must not ruin the instinct of the child as happens in the youth teams. Thiago Motta knows what he’s doing. In Juve the two wingers attack and cut and they go in depth, he must focus on the timing of clearing and closing the action. Advice? I love him, but he must stay quiet and follow Motta.”
Space in Prandelli’s analysis also for Fiorentina: “The Viola is my heart and seeing it up there is no surprise. Palladino is chameleon-like and has a team with a block of young people and Italians who will take him far.” And on Moise Kean: “Well, Palladino did with Moise what I did with Dusan: he freed up space for him.”
