Fiorentina`s sporting director, Daniele Pradè, spoke to the club`s official channels following their 2-2 draw with Celje, which secured their qualification for the Conference League semi-finals.
Pradè commented on the hard-fought victory: “We advanced to the next round with difficulty, but that`s how it is in Europe. Celje plays excellent football, and the rain was torrential. However, it`s a great achievement. For the third year in a row, we are in the semi-finals, and we will play against a great team in a fantastic stadium. It`s wonderful for everyone.”
Regarding the team`s reaction after conceding the first goal, Pradè stated, “We made it a bit complicated for ourselves, but Moise Kean is devastating. The team knows this and relies heavily on him. I`m also pleased for Rolando Mandragora, who has now scored 5 goals in the Conference League. The team fought hard, and we knew it wouldn`t be easy.”
