“The negative part is that I was disappointed with the first 15-20 minutes of the match because we did not enter the game as I wanted. We knew it would be another game compared to the first match, and we had to be character to make Fiorentine to suffer, but in the rest we played well and I was a second. Fantastic that my players are so tuned, but we have a great victory in football.
We have always been opposed by strong rivals, and we have learned a lot: I was happy that there was no match in which we made the impression that we could not compete with our rivals. We could avoid missing goals, but we need to improve our game.
I cannot say that Fiorentina is the strongest team … on paper, perhaps, but we had more problems against Vriteria Gimarinsh. But football changes greatly. Fiorentina spent the important first half of the match without letting us play, but in the second half you could only see my team, although they played with the best players.
We are a small club … After the game, I went to shake Palladino’s hand, and he told me that I was saying too much – he humiliated me. And what did I have to tell him, “How good is he?” I just went to shake his hand – yes, our warehouse costs 13 million, and Fiorentine has all 300. He is younger than me and he needs to learn a lot, and for me it was a bad behavior. One day, maybe I will train a team that costs 300 million, and I will meet with him, who will instead sit on a bench of a spare team, which costs 13 “, – says Riera’s words Tuttomercatoweb.
Earlier, Palladino himself shared his thoughts and conflict.
