“We played too many long balls”
Spalletti then also analyzed the game: “We played many, too many long balls but Osimhen is not good at managing the ball on him, Fiorentina made man against man. We made few good choices from defense and we lost several duels and several balls and this favored Fiorentina’s game. They put it on the fight, they were very good on the second balls and they took away the references to the attackers. I’m sorry, because we also had our chances and we didn’t realize them. I also tried to insert fresh forces but we really lacked something to win the game. Raspadori entered well, he allowed us to find various solutions on the trocar. But he was unlucky in the conclusion, he was unable to kick hard. good at receiving the ball between the lines, he puts the opponent’s defenses in difficulty with his strength and low center of gravity “.
“Market? They’ve all been for sale since I’ve been here …”
In closing, a joke about the transfer market and the possible arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo: “I don’t have time to think about other things, we play every three days. We still have to fuel up on the athletic level and get in condition. Since I arrived they are all on the market. Me. I think that when a company offers 100 million for someone it is very difficult not to consider this offer “, he concludes referring to the possible offer of Manchester United for Osimhen.
Italian: “Too bad, we could have won”
On the opposite side, the third 0-0 in a row between league and cup leaves some regrets to Vincenzo Italiano: “Too bad, we could have won. We had 4-5 occasions in which we could have scored”, he underlines. “In my opinion, we were facing a squadron, so I’m still happy with what the boys did. In the end I made a joke: ‘don’t you dare to make me fall in love with 0-0 …’. happy for the performance.I continue to rotate men, we create, we do not concede goals.
“A growing team, we need to be more effective”
Italiano is satisfied with the team’s growth: “It is growing. This year we have tried to give more compactness and defensive attention and we are achieving some results. Having said that we must also be more concrete and effective. We will face many games and we must be able to improve with less training. If we continue like this we can have enormous margins. Jovic, Ikoné, Barak and Dodò can grow a lot: the Brazilian has made a big leap forward compared to Empoli. We have lacked training but we have to find certain things in the matches “.
“Jovic has to immerse himself in a new mentality”
Speaking of Jovic, the Viola coach then focuses on the conditions and the performance of the former Real striker: “He must be reactivated both in his mental aspect and in his physical condition. He must also immerse himself in a new mentality. Now he plays for Fiorentina and not with In training, however, you can see the champion’s skill and strokes. The club and I have focused a lot on Jovic, perhaps he has never worked in a convinced way as a single striker but for me he can do it, if he manages to attack well ‘area. The moment something is triggered in him he will show great things “, he concludes.
