Fiorentina, the report cards after Napoli. Fagioli clearly growing, difficult moment for Dodo

Florence, March 10, 2025 – The Viola report cards after Napoli-Fiorentina.

De Gea 6 - Off and running, he hypnotizes Raspadori. Not flawless on McTominay's shot for 1-0. Great job on Raspadori, stretching out his foot. He denies Spinazzola the second goal with a miracle. Ice cold on Simeone.

Comuzzo 5 - Raspadori is a very uncomfortable customer because he doesn't give any reference points and the soldier is in difficulty especially in the first half. In the second half he also manages to propose himself forward to fuel the action, but it is always an afternoon of suffering. From 73' Moreno 5,5 - Without great high notes.

María 5 - It's not an afternoon to remember and not only because Lukaku wins almost all the duels. He falls asleep on the occasion of the Azzurri's lead when De Gea parries short and is burned by the Belgian striker.

Ranieri 5 - A game of position and suffering. A lot. Try to contain Politano's gusts on the right, without losing sight of Raspadori's passes, who doesn't give any reference points up front. From 58' Pongracic 5 - Raspadori is lost on the occasion of the doubling. The warning received to remedy an error is the emblem of a difficult afternoon.

Dodo 4,5 - He seemed to be recovering after a period of decline, but instead he is in difficulty. He crosses Spinazzola and, as in the first leg, it is the most problematic duel for the Brazilian who tries to take the measure of the Italian to avoid being crushed. But he does not always succeed and suffers the initiatives of the opponent who aims at him and skips him, putting the entire defense in crisis. In attack very few opportunities to make themselves seen and leave their mark.

Ndour 5 - He sacrifices himself by always going to McTominay, going to almost make the fourth defense in the non-possession phase. He would have lungs and running to give physicality to the midfield, instead he fails to emerge. He has the good ball in the final for the equalizer, but he makes a gross mistake.

Cataldi 5,5 - He has to deal with Lobotka and it's not easy. He grows in the second half, like the whole team, being able to maneuver with more freedom. He struggles in the distance because he also spends a lot of energy. From 80' Beltran 6 - Little time available but he enters with determination. You can see that he is well.

beans 6,5 - Inspired when in the last 30 meters he has to suggest and widen the game. Even if, at least at the start, he has few balls to manage, but there are many men to chase and it becomes complicated to take meters. The ex Juve player, however, has skills and emerges in the best moment of the Viola. Throws and geometries that fuel the Viola hopes of a comeback that remains only on paper. The impression is that they cannot do without him.

Parisi 5 - He has to be a substitute for Gosens and the task is thankless. He has to keep Politano under pressure and it is not so easy. He spends a lot, without ever holding back but the results are so-so. From 58' Goossens 5,5 - He can't find his pace and remains stuck in the Napoli area.

Gudmundsson 6 - Of esteem and trust. He has a good chance at the start, but the header is too central. Then he goes into the trenches trying to be useful, but staying on the sidelines. The winning play is expected of him, which comes with Kean's assist, with a precise shot from the edge.

Kean 6 - Very tough match: it's always one against two and he has to drop back to let the team go up. He almost equalizes by heading it over the crossbar. He makes himself available to the team, like a true leader. A beautiful and powerful ball behind that Gud transforms with precision.

All. Palladino 5 - He tries to rely on the 'new' formation with a 5-man midfield; but it is when he switches to a 4-man midfield and an attack with Beltran and Gud that he seems more dangerous. The choice to keep the center of gravity low for a good part of the game does not pay off. More courage was needed also in the substitutions, risking something more when Fiorentina had to recover two goals. Now everything will be played on Thursday in a game to be experienced with bated breath.
