Pioli: I hope Keane breaks the goal drought as soon as possible. Fiorentina s attitude in the second half is worthy of recognition

September 14th, Fiorentina lost to Napoli 1-3 at home in this round, and still missed the first victory in the new season of the league. After the game, Fiorentina coach Pioli talked about the team's situation.

Will this defeat make Florence re-examine itself?

"I don't think the problem is that expectations are too high. We want to achieve some important achievements and want to improve the team, but these requirements obviously cannot be completed in two months."

"I originally hoped to get a few more points now, and I was not satisfied with today's game. However, what makes me feel relieved is the attitude the team showed in difficult times. Because if you are facing a strong team like Naples, you are in the top 15 due to your own mistakes. It is not easy to deal with when it is 0-2 in minutes. We still maintain a holistic nature in difficult times. We accept criticism from the outside world and must withstand the pressure. Today, we can say that we are facing one of the strongest teams in Italy at present, and we must work hard to improve our level. I also like the attitude of the fans, they support us throughout the game. I can say with certainty that the players have never given up and tried their best. "

What message did the substitution convey?

"For me, I'm making choices every day. If I'm a good coach, I have to do at least 8 of the 10 choices. Today's substitute is doing well and I'll consider continuing to use them in the next game against Cuomo. Despite the poor performance in the first half, I'm sure about the second half."

Are there any weaknesses that need to be urgently addressed?

"Naples today, both with and without the ball, showed extremely high quality and physical fitness, which made it difficult for us to play. We absolutely need to improve on set pieces, and they are more focused on this point and can read the situation of the game well. When facing such a high level of opponents, we cannot be at a disadvantage in these aspects. We must start over with such efforts."

Why can't Keane break the goal drought?

"Kean has had some opportunities and I hope he can break the goal drought as soon as possible, but he will never be a problem for us."
