Fiorentina, Vanoli: Kean is fit, too much criticism lately | OneFootball

A few days before the big league clash against Juventus, scheduled for next Saturday at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, the Viola coach, Paolo Vanoli, spoke at the usual pre-match press conference.

Fiorentina, Vanoli in conference: “Kean has recovered, I’ve heard too much criticism lately…”

These are the statements of the gigliati coach: “I found a group that is very eager to prove they can get out of this situation. It’s been two weeks of hard work. I held double training sessions to get to know the players better and to talk to them. I congratulate the group because they want to get out of this situation. But now we need to abandon the ‘I’ and find the ‘we’. Everyone needs to listen to their teammates, and this is an aspect I need to work on. There’s a lot to do, but the guys are very determined to make it. The team is young and it’s great to work with young players.”

“Captain Ranieri? There has been excessive criticism of him on TV. I spoke with him, and what I told him, I’ll tell you as well. I told him that if I had been Fiorentina’s coach at the start of the year, I would have given him the captain’s armband. The armband is given for many reasons: if you’re a leader, if you have many appearances… I told him he became captain because he’s an example of hard work. He worked with his energy and, despite those who said he wasn’t up to it, he stayed at Fiorentina. I had asked Pradè for him at Venezia, but he earned Fiorentina for himself. Today, however, it’s right that he takes the criticism because people don’t recognize his captain’s qualities. So for me, he is the captain and I will defend him to the death. He needs to understand why he has taken on this armband.”
