FLORENCE, ITALY – NOVEMBER 28: Head coach Raffaele Palladino of ACF Fiorentina reacts during the UEFA Conference League 2024\/25 League match between ACF Fiorentina and Pafos FC at Stadio Artemio Franchi on November 28, 2024 in Florence, Italy.

Raffaele Palladino admits Fiorentina\u2019s 3-2 Conference League victory over Pafos was \u2018inevitably marred by two entirely avoidable goals,\u2019 but is fired up to face Inter.<\/p>\n

The Viola really do delight in making things difficult for themselves in the Conference League this season and that was on show again at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.<\/p>\n

They wasted opportunities to put the game to bed and then allowed cheap goals to leave it a tense finale, eventually squeezing past Cypriot side Pafos 3-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a victory for the group, which was not easy, because Pafos are a well-organised team who know how to play football and until tonight had never conceded more than two goals,\u201d Palladino told Sky Sport Italia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a great spirit, but the performance is inevitably marred by giving away two entirely avoidable goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palladino frustrated by Fiorentina errors<\/h2>\n

The second was particularly embarrassing, as goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano was robbed while playing out from the back, allowing Jaja to tap into an empty net.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt times we coaches say these pat phrases in post-match interviews, but I prefer to speak the truth,\u201d noted Palladino.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am fortunate to have lads who give their all in training, but we can improve in every area. The more we work and train together, the better we will get.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucas Martinez Quarta was moved into a surprise new role as a midfielder and even managed to score a goal, following on from Christian Kouame and the own goal, but also limped off injured.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew he would have a great performance there, it was not a decision I made out of nowhere. I had seen him during the week in training, he is very versatile and always gives his all. He\u2019s also got an eye for goal. I am pleased.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiorentina have won their last seven Serie A games and this weekend go head-to-head with Inter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a strong team, the Champions of Italy, but we have to experience this as a magical night and enjoy it to the full. We\u2019ve got to play them with an open and attacking approach,\u201d concluded Palladino.<\/p>\n
