Fiorentina, Vanoli reassures the fans: “Just cramps for Kean, we needed this victory”

Fiorentina, led by Paolo Vanoli, returned to winning ways in the Conference by defeating the Ukrainians of Dinamo Kiev 2-1. At the end of the match, the former Torino and Venezia coach spoke at the press conference.

Here are his words, reported by FirenzeViola:

On the match

“We wanted this victory at all costs because it’s good for morale. We have a lot of things to improve because we have many ghosts within us. I told the guys to look at what they did on the field, the attitude with which they played. Now a league final is coming, we’re going to the training camp and recovering because we know how important it is. It must be the beginning, it's clear, but we also cared about the Conference because we have the potential to carry on this competition. We haven't achieved anything yet and the league is the most important thing of all, let's focus on that. We need to clear our minds and know that tonight we wasted a lot of mental and physical energy. Now we need to be calm, I told the guys we need to go to Viola Park and all be together, clearing our heads. Then, recovering nervous energy.”

On Kean and Richardson

“I talked to him, I was curious about him even when he played in the French league. As soon as I arrived, his father passed away, so he was bewildered. He has great technical personality, he can play both phases but needs to do it better: he has good bursts but needs to be more tactically organized.

Kean is fine, he just had some cramps.”

On the formation

“I think this team can change and they have shown me that. I had it in my mind for a long time, but it doesn’t mean we will start like this again. Kouame is a winger who can lend a hand but is returning from an injury, Fortini is still young and then there aren’t many substitutes. But I had it in mind for a long time. Even though what matters most is the attitude.”
