Fiorentina’s Struggles: Team and Management Exchange Messages
Fiorentina’s recent Serie A performances have raised concerns within the club. Following their second consecutive defeat, this time against Udinese, there seems to be more than meets the eye regarding the team’s struggles.
Sporting Director Daniele Pradè expressed his disappointment, stating, “We weren’t the usual Fiorentina today. We need to rediscover our humility.” This statement serves as a clear message to the players, who appeared complacent, especially in the second half.
The team’s decline has been noticeable since their match against Cagliari, with signs of both physical and mental fatigue. However, while management sends a message to the squad, the players are also communicating their needs to the club.
Coach Palladino highlighted the absence of Edoardo Bove, emphasizing the need for a player who can fulfill Bove’s versatile role in midfield and beyond. This absence has forced tactical adjustments and exposed some of the team’s vulnerabilities.
As the transfer window approaches, Fiorentina must address these issues. The match against Udinese revealed that the team has significant challenges to overcome, both in terms of personnel and mentality.
