Violamania: Gudmundsson is a case today. But who was Pradè angry with?

Let’s also say that under the technical guidance of Raffaele Palladino Fiorentina never really shone in terms of the game. Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing, of course. Indeed, in the autumn months of the season the Viola managed to capitalize to the maximum thanks to an excellent defensive phase and Kean’s cynicism in front of goal. But if some cracks appear in the defensive phase and few balls reach Kean then that’s where the problems begin. And the Fiorentina seen in Monza is the absolute worst in recent months. Where is the team capable of stringing together eight consecutive victories in the championship? Where is the team capable of scoring five goals against Roma, the one that was very difficult to kick on goal, the one capable of overturning Lazio with a super Gudmundsson? Here, about Gudmundsson. The Icelandic is today the perfect photograph of what Fiorentina is today: a coincidence. Having returned at the beginning of December after the thigh injury suffered against Lecce, the former Genoa player has never managed to be decisive in the last 40 days. Not only that, Palladino left him on the bench in an important match like the one against Napoli and left him in the locker room at half-time yesterday evening. The truth is that, to date, the highest-paid signing in Fiorentina’s history is a disappointment and, in these conditions, is more part of the problem than the solution. And Fiorentina has a lot of problems at the moment. Just listen to the rumors that arrived after the match. “We don’t run for each other anymore,” Ranieri said. “Today perhaps we are less of a team,” reiterated Palladino. “We’re pissed off, there are 20 days left until the end of the transfer window, if anyone has a stomach ache come and tell us”, commented Pradè. Those of the sporting director were real arrows towards someone who, evidently, is not putting everything he should into the field. Which would be serious. Now we need to understand who he was angry with. But evidently there is more than something wrong at Viola Park.
