Raffaele Palladino, Fiorentina coachspoke in the press conference after the victory on the Como pitch: “Today wasn’t a great match, Como put us in difficulty and I congratulated Fabregas. Now let’s focus on the Conference League match”.
Inter are next Sunday.
“Victories are beautiful and must be taken with the right mentality. We want to do well in Europe, because we lost the last one. From now until January 4th we play every three days, now we look at the Conference. We want to play with everyone, that’s a group that has a lot of desire, having this group available is wonderful.”
Can this mentality allow you to dream?
“You know that you will never have an answer from me (laughs, ed.). Jokes aside, we are ambitious, the championship is strange. There are teams that have not yet found the right fit. We must not feel stronger than we We have to work hard with team spirit and sacrifice. Later on we will look at the rankings and set ourselves goals.”
You changed formation during the match.
“Fabregas did it too, we changed and then we scored goals but that’s luck (laughs, ed.). It’s important to have two game systems, I’m also studying a third. The team can do both, it adapts, we have the players to do it. It led me to change the position of their attacking midfielders which was putting us in difficulty.”
What more can Pongracic and Gudmundsson give you?
“As I’ve always said, I need everyone. We need to get everyone back. Gudmundsson has a return plan this week. Let’s hope everything goes smoothly. Let’s try to get him back for Inter or maybe for the Italian Cup. Now that Pongracic is back we’re happy We hope to also have Richardson and Biraghi available again who has had a small calf problem but should be fine.”
