Fiorentina plays a dreadful match against Parma, ending the game with a 0-0 scoreline. Very few chances were created, and the Franchi stadium echoed with loud boos both at halftime and after the final whistle.
The Tuscan team, despite a performance that truly raises fears of relegation, is for the first time not in the Serie B zone. The point allows them to overtake Cremonese, who are third from last with 24 points, ahead of next weekend’s direct clash.
In the 63rd minute, Paolo Vanoli decides to make the first change, substituting Mandragora and bringing on Fabbian in his place.
The midfielder, a symbol and glue of Fiorentina, does not take it well at all. He shows a lot of nervousness in his gestures at the moment of the substitution.
Fiorentina shows no spark, and the Franchi crowd loses patience with the approach to a match that must be won at all costs.
First comes a chant, "Are you leaving or not?" followed by loud boos after a great play by Keita, whose shot goes just wide. At halftime, the frustration explodes at even higher decibels.
The second half begins with the emblematic chant, "Grow some b***s!" The crowd demands a reaction after 45 minutes with just 0.30 xG.
The first 35 minutes of Fiorentina-Parma offer very little excitement, quite the opposite. Fear seems to paralyze the Viola, who control possession but never take risks or make an impact.
The situation seems to suit the Ducali perfectly, as they play their usual game of great focus and potentially lightning-fast counterattacks.
Before the match between Fiorentina and Parma, fans paid tribute to Davide Astori, the Viola captain who passed away eight years ago. The Curva Fiesole, temporarily relocated to the Curva Ferrovia due to work at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, displayed a banner with the inscription “DA13” and the symbols of Florence’s four districts.
Before kickoff, a minute’s silence was also observed in memory of the economist Piero Barucci and former Viola player Rino Marchesi, who achieved important successes with Fiorentina in the 1960s.
A huge blow for Fiorentina, who will be without their best striker. Moise Kean has not recovered from his ankle problem and is not even on the bench for the match. His absence will be felt, and it will be up to Piccoli to replace him as best as possible.
FIORENTINA (4-3-3): De Gea; Dodo, Pongracic, Ranieri, Gosens; Ndour, Fagioli, Mandragora; Harrison, Piccoli, Gudmundsson.
PARMA (4-3-2-1): Corvi; Delprato, Circati, Troilo, Valeri; Keita, Nicolussi Caviglia, Sorensen; Strefezza, Cremaschi; Pellegrino.
