Raffaele Palladino, coach of Fiorentina, spoke in a press conference on the eve of the challenge with the Welshmen of The New Saints in the Conference League. "We are in emergency in defense, with three disqualified – he admitted -. This morning we have Pongracic with the team, unfortunately forò still not è ready and tomorrow will not be summoned. We have been working these days on the best formation: whoever will take the field, even as an adapted, will play a great game. I have guys who are applied and intelligent. And I will convokeò both Baroncelli and Kouadio, I had them in training camp, I have confidence in them, I follow them in Primavera and they are doing well. They will be on the bench".

For the Viola coach, this is the debut in Europe: "There's no time to get excited. We know we are playing on three fronts and tomorrow there will be the Conference: we are focused to give a great performance and win this game. Responsibilities are part of the job and they motivate you to do better and better. We are ready, we want to give a great performance".

On Riccardo Sottil: "Tomorrow he plays and will play a great game. He starts from the beginning, è an opportunity to prove his great value: I still think the nice words spent on him. The thing I è liked about Riccardo è was the attitude in this month when he had less space. He è been positive and always trained well".

"Not è a difficult time, but a great time of work. I live here at Viola Park, I am giving my heart and soul for the company and to improve the team, the same as the boys do to get the results. We know that in soccer we are bound to results and when you don’t get them the incentive è to do more and more. I live the moment in a very intense way, I give my all. And I know only one way, that of work, to achieve victories and satisfactions" concluded Palladino.
