Fiorentina, Raffaele Palladino makes self-criticism and dribbles the future question
The words of Raffaele Palladino
After the 3-2 loss accrued in Greece, Fiorentina will be obliged to win against Panathinaikos in the return leg of the Conference League round of 16 in order to pass the round. On the eve of the match at the Artemio Franchi, the viola coach Raffaele Palladino, among the various topics discussed in the press conference, dwelt on the recent negative moment his team is going through.
"The results are not what we hoped for, è under everyone’s eyes. In the last two months we have had some difficulties, also due to injuries, which però cannot be an alibi, becauseé we can do more. In the last match against Napoli, we played a very good first half, albeit with some mistakes. In the second we had courage and personality and we did not drop physically, that is why I said I liked the team. Since three days I have the squad almost full and this è a very important factor for us" began the Fiorentina coach.
"I think it is normal to make mistakes. I am here to grow, improve and take Fiorentina as high as possible. I made mistakes a few times, but I am trying to do my best, I am always present at Viola Park, I give my best for the boys and so do they. The results are not good and I understand that, but tomorrow canò be the turning point of this period. It is those matches that if you do well and pass the round, they give you momentum for the future as well and è what we need now" continued the coach of the Tuscans.
"We have to focus 101% on trying to pass the round. There are still a lot of points left in the league, we want and must always be ambitious and try to get as high as possible. Now there'è the Conference, then the Serie A we will come back to think about it starting Friday, added the former Monza coach.
"My future is not è important right now, Fiorentina’s is. Indeed, present and future. Not that of Palladino, of Fiorentina. I have to think only of the good and love of Fiorentina, maximum concentration on the team, the company and what there is to do. Coaches are judged by results, è that is our business. But now my future does not matter" concluded Raffaele Palladino.
