Rome, 12 Mar (LaPresse) – We prepared the match well. Tomorrow we know that for us it's a match like a final. We can't wait to take the field, I'm sure we'll give a great performance tomorrow, pushed by our fans who will give us a big hand’. So told Sky Sport, Raffaele Palladino, Fiorentina coach, on the eve of the Conference League round of 16 return match against Panathinaikos. ‘I think they are those matches that come at a moment in a season that is certainly delicate where the results we hoped for haven't arrived in this last month and a half. But they are also those matches that can give you the turning point, momentum and great positivity for the continuation of the championship. Our objective is to pass the round and it is those matches that change the judgements of a season. And so we know that tomorrow our objective is to play a great game,’ added the Viola coach.
