Fiorentina defeated by Betis, but confidence for the return to Franchi

Defeat yes, but with that sweet thought of being able to fix everything next Thursday at Franchi. This was the common thread of the post-match Seville, with President Commisso who called the locker rooms of the Villamarin to charge everyone up properly without neglecting Sunday's commitment against Roma. Mister Raphael Palladino he looked at the glass half full. "It's a shame to lose but we played with courage and pride. The stadium was very hot and we played the game. I'm satisfied even if I'm not happy but everything is open and I believe in it. And the boys think like me". Then the explanation on the exclusion of Kean which has caused discussion. "He was away for a week, with his family, and he came back the day we left. He didn't train with the team, I thought it was right to preserve him physically, because putting a player on the field from the start without training is risky. And then it's also out of respect for his teammates who trained all week".

After the race, the microphone was also available for De Gea. "We hope to play a great match in the return match and reach the final. Betis has proven its worth, they are playing for the Champions League and taking a long route in Conference. The future? I am very happy to Florence and I'm enjoying Italian football. I hope to get the best with my team."

Clear analysis of Robin Gosens. "There is a bit of regret. The second goal was incredible, but the first was avoidable, we defended badly. However, let's take this result and play everything at the Franchi".

Finally captain Ranieri, exhausted. "It was a balanced match in an incredible stadium, which pushed a lot. The Betis It's a great team but we made too many mistakes in our passes, in view of the return match we need to improve the quality a bit".
