Prandelli’s words

In Fiorentina

“The reality is that we don’t have to be ashamed of having to fight more than we think. Defending yourself as a team at certain times is correct and prudent. I would like to see a team that realizes that we are in a delicate situation. The first objective is not to suffer then we will think about doing something up front. We are responsible, the players are convinced that we can get out of this situation if we are united. These days they have given positive responses to internal and external stimuli. Tomorrow we will see a Fiorentina different from the previous ones“.

In retreat

“The club proposed withdrawal and both the players and I immediately agreed. The situation is delicate and even the players are convinced of this choice. Starting tomorrow we have to change registration“.

About expert footballers

“We need everyone right now. Mentally free players and with the most important condition. It is not a problem of names. By playing every three days we must realize that we cannot always play with the same formation. We must always go out onto the field with physicality equal to that of the opposing team. Tomorrow we will face Sassuolo, one of the best in Italy. We have to get all the energy and think that we are a team at all times. We will have to be careful but also use physical momentum to tackle Sassuolo’s dribble“.

About the injured

“We have all recovered except Duncan who always has a muscle ache“.

About the leaders of Fiorentina

“The leaders are there but at this time the team must become aware of the difficulties and how to get out of this situation. The players were exposed and I saw responses from men. Tomorrow I want to see a team with these attributes“.

In the midfield

“Gambling systems have little value as numbers. Teams now work together and are based on certain principles of the game. I would not dwell on the game systems, but the team must have few ideas and must carry them forward with speed and intensity.“.
