“We respect Parma, they’ve proven to be an energetic team and we have to be ready,” Prandelli said at a press conference.

“We still think we can have a different season. Every defeat brings sadness and we must do everything to win tomorrow,” the coach continued.

“We must be patient, use suitable spaces and the right tempo. We must create troubles with runs into open spaces.

“Igor and Castrovilli are out of action, while we need to wait for today’s training to assess Bonaventura and Kouame.

“I am responsible for this team. Players have their personality, but they can be fragile and may not cope with pressure.

“We are what we think, and we must always try to snatch a good result. If we have negative thoughts, it’s clear we can concede goals.”

What has the future in store for him and Fiorentina?

“I have given my maximum availability. Then my future is tomorrow. If I realize I’m a burden, I’ll go my own way.

“I am available for any role, for me the Fiorentina comes first.”

Fiorentina are hoeving five points above the relegation zone, but Torino have two games in hand.

“The fans unveiled a banner where they wrote ‘Respect the shirt’. I’d like to take that banner in the locker room. That’s what the lads must always remember. It’s the base of our job.

I know Fiorentina fans will never betray the shirt, it’s a particular moment and my players are aware of it.”
