Fiorentina, executive fury after the knockout: "We stayed home". Vanoli for now confirmed

Florentin’s sporting director Roberto Goretti spoke to DAZN after the Viola’s defeat against Sassuolo. The Gigliati are last in the standings and have yet to win a game after 14 days. Even the change of coach does not seem to have shaken the team: “The fact that Vanoli is not yet here talking is because there is an awareness of the situation. The fans responded but we didn’t, we forgot to come to Reggio Emilia. We showed that we are not team at the moment, we had some games where we improved but today it didn”t happen.

“If you do not find the emotional key to solve the blackout we will continue to take the field with this attitude – continued the executive of the violets -. If there is no confidence of the mate and maximum cooperation between the players the situation becomes a problem. We need to find the little things that put together are decisive. It takes trust in the teammates. We will certainly try our best to get back up. Vanoli confirmed? Yes, the coach is confirmed. The Kean-Mandragora tantrum over the penalty? This is something I don”t like, and it”s not even the first time we”ve done it, so I don”t like it doubly.

The’episode occurred in the first minutes of the match played at Mapei Stadium. On 9′ the lily-colored team earned a penalty kick thanks to Muric’s foul on Parisi, but the purple players argued when the shot from the penalty spot was taken. Mandragora approached to take the penalty but Kean intervened, intending to kick him. The blue striker stood in front of the ball and exchanged a few words with Mandragora. The standoff lasted until Fiorentina captain Ranieri intervened and pushed Kean away, allowing Mandragora to take and score the penalty kick that gave the Viola the lead.

After Fiorentina’s goal, Kean, who was very upset, did not join the celebration with the rest of the team, and returned to his own half of the field with his head down.
