“Matches you win if you have soul. Progress in match management, Fiorentina has adapted to absences without suffering them”

Angelo Giorgetti, commentator and editorialist for radio FirenzeViola and Firenzeviola.it intervened after the match during “If it were always Sunday” to comment on Fiorentina’s victory: “We’re getting used to the victories, they’ve had many but I’d put them almost in first place, not for the beauty because it was certainly not an unforgettable match against a Genoa in great difficulty who made many fouls and played little football. This is why it was a match that you can win if you have a great soul, if everyone manages to do something more. Fiorentina played with a 4-2-3-1 but they were planning and thinking less also because there were important absences starting from Kean. So I think the victory represents a step forward in management patience and that sooner or later Genoa would have made a mistake in defense and Gosens was good there who scored a goal as an attacker, he risked something but De Gea also today made a couple of sensational interventions and therefore every piece is in the right place. I won’t go into projections to say where it will arrive but I say that this team is growing in its management of matches and this is an excellent sign.”

Despite missing important players: “Fiorentina adapted to the absences and didn’t suffer them. They chose to play a different match than usual because when they have all their players they manage to be much quicker in the counterattacks and instead Palladino sacrificed this aspect because a player was missing capable of playing up front like Kean and he focused more on being compact and looking for the right opportunity. He filled the absences with an attitude that later proved to be successful. And I think you win these matches with great players like Gosens and De Gea”
