Fiorentina ended their 6-game losing streak. Palladino: The team works together regardless of winning or losing.


In the 22nd round of the 2024/25 Serie A season, Fiorentina defeated Lazio 2-1 after goals from Yasinni Adli and Lucas Beltran, returning to the winning track. Coach Palladino said that the players train together with full motivation every day and will unite together regardless of winning or losing.


Robin Gosens made a cross in the 11th minute, and Yasinni Adli immediately stepped forward and shot, helping Fiorentina to take the lead 1-0. In the 17th minute, Dodo passed the defense back from the penalty area, and Lucas Beltran took advantage of the momentum and scored, expanding Fiorentina's lead to 2-0.


In the 63rd minute of the second half, Yasinni Adli, who had scored for Fiorentina, was sent off due to two yellow cards, leaving Fiorentina with 10 players. In the second half stoppage time, Sisay headed the ball to Adam Marusic, who headed the ball into the goal against the defense, helping Lazio to equalize with a score of 1-2.


In the end, Fiorentina defeated Lazio 2-1 away from home, ending their six-game losing streak.


Fiorentina coach Palladino said in an interview, "The hug after the goal and the performance throughout the game reflect the team's desire to prove that all the speculations about us are ridiculous. Those claims that we are divided and ununited are all unfounded."


"In the first 20 minutes of the game, the team showed great courage and strength and caused a lot of trouble for Lazio. We will dedicate this victory to ourselves because there have been too many false statements against us in the past month. This is an excellent team that trains and works together with full motivation every day, and we will work together whether we win or lose."


Palladino said, "We know that Lucas Beltran will give his all no matter where he is placed. He makes sacrifices for the team and shows a unique Argentine spirit. His performance is outstanding. I think he is more suitable to play as a front midfielder or shadow striker, maybe even a midfielder."


"Without Eduardo Bovi we lost some specific tactical attributes and Michael Florencho has made up for that. He is versatile and can play on the right, on the left or even in the middle."


In addition, Palladino also said, "Marin Pongracic was absent for a long time, but he also tried his best. I want to praise everyone. This team deserves this victory, and we hope to continue this attitude to finish the season."
