Fiorentina, Palladino: “Inexplicable departure”

Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino spoke after the 3-3 draw with Puskas Akademia in the Conference League. “It was a bad start, you have to be realistic. It was an inexplicable start, leaving down 2-0 and also mentally and technically. We made technical mistakes that I don&#39t even see in practice, we were good at staying in the race”.

The Viola overturned the result in the second half: “In the second half I è liked the team attitude, I è liked the team spirit but we conceded goals on set pieces, there is no way to take a goal like thatì. You have to analyze what we did well and what there’è to improve”.

Kean found the goal: “I don&#39t think it&#39s a matter of a single player, those who è entered gave a strong push to the team. I would like to see some of this attitude from everyone, which I did not see today. I will know how to speak to the team, è it is my job and I will have to analyze this thing”.
