Rome, 30 Apr (LaPresse) – ‘Betis are very strong, they have great values, they are a mature team and Pellegrini is a very good coach. They love possession and have great individuality, we have to do well in both phases’. Thus Raffaele Palladino, Fiorentina coach, on the eve of tomorrow's Conference league semi-final first leg against Betis in Seville. ‘There will be many of their fans,’ he continued, ’the stadium is warm, we know everything. Our dream is to go through'. According to Palladino we must be ‘proud of the path we have taken, we are living it with lightness and awareness. We must be serene and happy, it's nice to play a semi-final on a pitch like this’. On Kean's condition, he explained: ‘I spoke with him, he is calm and motivated. He's had two training sessions with the team. He's ready to play, then we'll have many matches. I'll have to decide whether to start him from the beginning or not.
