Fiorentina, Stefano Pioli looks beyond the three points and explains his choices

In a single night in the Conference League, Fiorentina equaled the number of points scored in the league from August 24 until last Sunday: this is also why the victory against Sigma Olomouc is important for the players coached by Stefano Pioli, who explained in a press conference some choices that displaced the insiders, who were surprised to see little turnover despite the fact that in a few days there is a match against Roma in the league.

“I only thought about winning tonight–s game, Pioli said.

It was not the time to think about Roma, my choices focused on what was needed to bring home the three points today against a team that proved itself to be up to the task and pressed from the start to the end”.

Commenting on the match, the purple coach added: “I am satisfied in general, maybe it would have been the case to play more between the lines but it went well. We often put Piccoli in front of the opponent’s goalkeeper, also thanks to Dzeko’s back-to-goal play. Did I see fear in my players? No, we simply suffered the opponents’intensity.

.

This Thursday’s is the third win of the season for Fiorentina in eight matches played so far: all the successes came in the Conference League, first in the playoff against Polissya (3-0 the’first leg on the neutral in Presov, 3-2 in Florence) and one of its own with Sigma Olomouc. In the league, on the other hand, came draws with Cagliari, Torino and Pisa, with the latter two interspersed with losses against Napoli and Como.
