Genoa faces Fiorentina in an important match for the tenth day of the championship, with the final result of 0-1.

LIVE VIGILANCE. Fiorentina, fresh from a crushing 5-1 victory over Roma that boosted their position in the standings, are preparing for a tricky away game against Genoa. The goal is to maintain the positive momentum. Raffaele Palladino, Fiorentina coach, said: “We want to continue on this path. The team is doing well and victories bring positive energy, creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm during the week.” Palladino noted the concentration of his players: “I’ve looked at our performances and I’ve never seen a lack of attitude. The boys give their all in training, which is fundamental because everything starts from there. It’s important to work every day, always trying to improve and stay alert, because every game presents pitfalls.”

Thursday’s game will be against a Genoa team eager for points, and Palladino knows the stadium and the atmosphere well, having worn that jersey in the past. “Genoa are going through a difficult time, but I know their stadium well and the importance of the fans,” he said. “They have good players and a capable coach; they will certainly be motivated to turn the situation around. We are ready and we are preparing in the best way possible to face this game. I will return emotionally to that stadium, but at the start of the match I will put emotions aside to focus on my Fiorentina.”

A certain absence for the Viola is that of Gudmudsson, out due to a serious muscle injury suffered in Lecce. Palladino will also have to evaluate the conditions of some players such as Cataldi and Comuzzo, who came out of the match with Roma bruised. As for Comuzzo, there is optimism: “Today he worked separately but he doesn’t seem to have suffered anything serious,” commented the coach. Every decision will be made after training the following day: “I will certainly field the best possible formation in Genoa; whoever takes the field will have to give their all since it will be a difficult match.”
