Fiorentina Inter 3-0, Viola ratings: Kean lethal, Ranieri lion. Dodo is everywhere

Florence, 7 February 2025 – Here are Fiorentina's report cards on the evening of their 3-0 victory at the Franchi against Inter.

De Gea 6,5 - For the first time this season, the goalkeeper appears in this column. It's all the fault of... the Nerazzurri. Yes, because there are few dangerous situations that the Spaniard tames. Engaged by Lautaro and he responds carefully by taking refuge in the corner. Quick to recover the position when Di Marco tries to surprise him with a lob from midfield. Good and lucky not to lose lucidity on Arnautovic in the final. Comacchio 7 - Deployed wide on the right in the 4-man defense to protect Dodo, positioned high up, does not retreat. Central defender when the team defends, then widens in possession approaching the sideline. Flexible. Pongracic 7 - He watches Thuram with skill and physique, trying to limit the Frenchman's strength with his positional sense and physique. He doesn't even flinch when a heavyweight like Arnautovic enters with whom he engages in a no-holds-barred duel. Rediscovered. Ranieri 8 - If he's your opponent, he's irritating; if he's your teammate, he's reassuring. He fights like a lion on set pieces against the physical might of his opponents. But when it's his turn to appear in the opponent's area, he scores the winning goal. Warrior.

Gosens 7 - Held low by Dumfries' push, he participates in the cause with his usual dedication and tactical intelligence. He knows that he must not lose distance with Parisi and remains cautious in his exits, sacrificing himself for the team. As always. From 87' Colpani sv Sleep 7,5 - As they say in some cases, where you put him, he stays. In the sense of starting position, because then you find him everywhere. He fuels the action as he knows how. He would also have the right ride, but he hits badly and the opportunity fades. Then the perfect invitation for his friend Kean. Samba. Richardson 7 - He crosses the tiles with Calhanoglu and tries to be more aggressive than in recent outings. He triggers the second goal, recovering a beautiful ball for Dodo. Recovery that confirms that he can also be part of this Fiorentina. Forward. Mandragora 7 - He plays second fiddle to Calhanoglu and then patrols the areas of his competence with application and order. His velvety foot is perfect once again when from a corner he finds (not by chance) the insertion of Ranieri. Paris 7,5 -He places himself in protection of Gosens who has to keep an eye not only on Frattesi who crosses in the three-quarter line, but also on Lautaro who does a lot of maneuvering compared to Thuram. Golden Ball for Kean who does not reward him as he should. A game of great application Beltran 7 - He has to monitor Mkhitaryan's runs and does an exceptional job of covering, going after every ball carrier when Inter comes out of their area with the ball. In the final stages he even protects up to the goal line closing down Thuram. From 90' Cataldi sv Kean 9 - And they are 15 in the championship (19 seasonal). He has the knockout blow at the start (he would have taken 10), but he is not bad and Sommer is saved. Then a delicious ball that Dodo wastes. As the minutes pass he enters on a mission and becomes lethal. Yes, because like a hungry panther he places his paw on a nice cross from his friend Dodo. And like a panther he takes a wrong clearance from Di Marco and threads Sommer with a greedy effort. From 92' Goats sv All. Palladino 9 - In the most complicated evening, emotionally and tactically, he annihilates Inter with his attitude and mentality. He doesn't make a mistake, even when he has to give up Gud, taking refuge in a chameleonic 4-4-2. If you have the most ruthless centre forward in Serie A, it becomes easier, of course. But there is a lot of Palladino in this victory.
