He on the benches after the 90 ‘, to the purple technician had not taken the sentence of the opponent well in the first leg: “I recommend Fiorentina to seriously prepare the return game”
Finale from Scintille in Fiorentina-Celje. A short but heated discussion between the benches with the two coaches Albert Riera and Raffaele Palladino began at the referee’s whistle. Words, gestures and tension before the same Viola coach went to the center of the field together with the rest of the staff to celebrate the passage of the round. An episode of clear nervousness on the field and which concludes a week of blow and remote response that had turned on the expectation of the return of the quarter -finals of Conference League. At the end of the first leg in Slovenia, the Spanish technician had pronounced the phrase “I recommend to Fiorentina to seriously prepare the return game” which had remained well impressed in the head of Palladino who in fact had replied yesterday: “I heard his statements. I love to talk about the facts, we leave the chatter to others. Certainly his making are an extra stimulus for us”.

A few minutes ago in the press room Riera explained: “I wanted to give my hand to Palladino and told me that I speak too much but I can’t congratulate the opponents before the game. First from the race, also to give my players a message, I have to give inputs in which I must say that we must believe it to the end, also because Fiorentina has a rose of economic value much higher than ours, almost 300 million against our 13 million. He is younger than me and must learn a lot. And Palladino replied clearly: “I honestly don’t care how he commented and for colleagues we must have respect, which Riera did not have in the words in the post-gara of the first leg. I have never missed respect”.
