Fiorentina coach Pioli mixed emotions after 6-goal Inter Milan thriller

Fiorentina coach Stefano Pioli admitted mixed emotions after their 3-3 stunner against Inter Milan.

The Viola fought back from 3-1 down to earn the point.

"It was so full of incidents. To be honest, I wouldn't have given either of the penalties. A player shouldn't just keep his hands clamped behind his back at all times, but evidently they are giving these all the time now," Pioli told Sky Sport Italia.

“We didn't keep the advantage for long enough and I thought we played a lot better in the first half. We came out with the desire to get straight back on track in the second half, but immediately conceded the third goal.

“The positive is that this team never gives up. I won't forget this is a very young squad and we can only grow and learn from these experiences.

“Inter pass it around well and we tried to be more aggressive on Marcelo Brozovic, as he starts their moves. In the second half, there was a period where we lost our balance and Inter took control, but we never stopped believing."
