Fiorentina, Palladino: “With Milan, I expect a great match.”

Raphael Palladino’s Fiorentina will face AC Milan on the next league day at 8:45 p.m. Saturday, April 5, at the San Siro. The purple coach presented the match against the Rossoneri in a press conference. He began by talking about Coincecao’s team, “We have worked and insisted on what must be our values. I thank the club and the players for helping me out of the difficult moment. January and February were not easy months. I saw Milan yesterday, and they were good both in possession and without. I expect a difficult match, but we have to go our own way. We have to face a strong team, built for the’high rankings. We have to aspire to the top, and we go to Milan to play for it. It is not easy to say where we are on our path. I think we are on a very good path, changing a lot, with a’new identity and new principles.

The former Monza coach then addressed the condition of Gosens and Colpani: “Colpani is recovering, he should be back next week. Gosens still has that knee discomfort, let’s see if we can get him back for Saturday, we will try”.

The Italian coach then dwelt on other players, Mandragora and Comuzzo: “Mandragora is having a great championship, he knew how to wait. In the first round he found less space, but he worked. He is reaping his rewards, but not only him. For example, Pongracic, who played little before. Those who are not finding space now I expect that when they are called upon they will make a difference”. On Comuzzo he added: “I find him well. He trains at two thousand an hour, he is always the same soldier. He is serene and calm, when he is called upon he always performs well”.

The Fiorentina coach then closed the press conference by talking about the future of Adli and Zaniolo: “Adli? I don&#8217t want to talk about players for next season from now on, we have to focus on the present. Yacine needs to find continuity, but I count a lot on him: he needs to be recovered. Zaniolo is working well. He has the right attitude: he just has to wait for his moment. With Atalanta he came in the right way, I am sure that when he is called upon he will show his worth”.
