Fiorentina coach Prandelli pleased with victory over Cagliari

Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli was happy to defeat Cagliari 1-0 on Sunday.

Dusan Vlahovic was the matchwinner, with Bartlomiej Dragowski denying Cagliari from the penalty spot.

Prandelli said, “Callejon is a professor when it comes to timing and getting away from his marker. He became more of a reference point in the second half. He needs to adapt to playing in a slightly different way, but not too much.

“Every match is hard-fought in Serie A this season, so we need to fight for every ball, get our hands dirty if needs be and then the quality of an individual can make the difference.

“The movement Vlahovic made was very good and the pass was extraordinary, but I also want to underline that Lucas Martinez Quarta made the difference at the start by breaking the line, winning it back and sparking the move."

The coach added: “Sometimes, I think that I am a bit too emotionally involved with Fiorentina and feel like I'm in the stands cheering them on. Instead, I need to be clear-headed when making the decisions that are best for the team."
