Vibrations from great Fiorentina, those that come back from Via del Mare and from the performance staged yesterday afternoon by Palladino’s boys. The resounding 6-0 victory on the pitch of a Lecce team in dire crisis returns many individual images of satisfaction to the Viola coach, but also a few moments of apprehension and fear.
Yes, because Fiorentina risks having lost for a while due to injury the man designated to become their new leader. After less than 5 minutes of the match in Lecce, Albert Gudmundsson had to raise the white flag due to a thigh problem. The other great protagonist Moise Kean imitated him on the half hour (but only came out at half-time). The Italian national’s problem, however, should be a smaller problem. And in any case Palladino (and his deputy Citterio who replaced him on the Via del Mare bench) is aware of having received two excellent signals from who could take their place.
On one side Andrea Colpani, on the other Lucas Beltran. Both provided their first rings of this season, which began for both with performances below expectations, even if from opposite trajectories. The former Monza player gained a lot of confidence, while the Argentine found very little space. Gudmundsson’s injury opened it up for him at Via del Mare, and Beltran was quick to bring the opportunity to his side. If Lecce’s exploits find continuity, the first to be happy will certainly be their coach Palladino, ready to expand the range of options at his disposal.
