Cristiano Lupatelliformer goalkeeper of Florentine and current coach of the Italy Under 16 goalkeepers, spoke to the microphones of Radio FirenzeViolaspeaking about the start of the season of Palladino’s team: “I followed them, both the coach and many players have changed and time is needed for adaptation. Being a Viola supporter, I hope they can continue on the path undertaken with Lazio, the team is Good”.
Is there a hierarchy among the Viola goalkeepers, does the youngest remain closed?
“Hierarchies help, Martinelli has great goalkeepers in front of him, one of international caliber and the other, Terracciano, has also done well in the Conference in recent years. For a young player it’s a way of growing, stealing something from the champions in front of you.”
Is De Gea a leap in quality?
“He will bring some points, he has already demonstrated it in his performances. Then he brings experience to give to his teammates, but Terracciano is also well versed, he has done well. Fiorentina is in good hands”
Will an owner like Terracciano be able to accept hierarchies?
“The hierarchies are dictated by the coaches, once upon a time only the first was the starter, in modern football and clubs like Fiorentina that play in Europe need two good goalkeepers. The second must be a starter to keep the team’s level high”
Is Fiorentina in the Europa League?
“For me yes, despite a complicated start, with time and work she can do well in the league and in Europe because for me she is well set up.”
