These are the statements made in the press conference by Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino after the 2-2 draw with Celje, which gave the Viola a pass to the Conference League semifinals.

“We achieved the goal of passing the round, with an excellent first half. However, these games also highlight our downsides and are useful for us to grow. We cannot leave so much field to the opponents and completely stop playing. We have to give proper credit to them as well, however, overall the semifinal is a source of pride” Fiorentina’s coach began.

“We have to grow in the management of the various moments of the match, as we make great first halves, then maybe at the first carelessness we pay. After the first goal we got a little bit down, we have to understand that we must not distort ourselves. We want to command the game and better understand the various game situations” continued the Viola coach.

“Against big teams like Betis Sevilla, the focus has to be 110 percent. Such a competition prepares itself, as we want to go all the way in the competition. But now we have to push hard in the league. I told the team that from now until the end we will play all finals. Our focus is Cagliari, because against that kind of team we always struggle a lot. I ask the boys to get results with the Rossoblù” added the former Monza coach.

“Marin, together with the club, we strongly wanted him when we sold Milenkovic. In our opinion he is a very strong player, then in the three-man defense I imagined him as a central player, but as a brace he is something fantastic. At the beginning he wasn&#8217t very convinced, it took us a while’to convince him because to everything to be able to play this role at a high level.

You know how much esteem and trust I have in Moise, we have to thank him for what he is doing. Of Kean, besides the goals, I like the’right attitude, he is well in the group and is a real dragger. However, his goals are the result of the work of the whole team” concluded Raffaele Palladino.
