Raffaele Palladino: 'Fiorentina must thank Kean for what he’s doing'
Fiorentina head coach Raffaele Palladino has praised his team’s advancement past Celje in the UEFA Conference League quarter-finals (2-1, 2-2).
"There are positives, but I’m also looking at areas to improve. We achieved our goal - reaching the next round with a great first half. On the downside, these matches should push us to grow. We can’t cede control or stop playing. Credit to our opponents, though - they’re a strong side. Reaching the semi-finals is a source of great pride.
"You know how much respect and trust I have in Moise Kean. We must thank him for what he’s doing. He’s having an incredible season, and his actions, like today’s goal, show true quality. I love that Moise always has the right mentality while scoring. He fits the team perfectly, energizing his teammates. But his goals are also a result of teamwork," Palladino said.
