Fiorentina confirmed the presence of Daniele Dodò in Fabio Paratici's squad, after a difficult season that ended with a new beginning. The coach spoke to DAZN before the match against Inter, the eighth matchday of Serie A, underlining how the closeness of the club to the players is fundamental for teamwork. “We are all close to him to try to help him,” said Paratici, referring to both the players and the coaching staff.
The new coach also commented on the team's performances in the first four championship matches, in which Fiorentina collected four points, even against notable opponents. “You also need to take a look at the calendar and the episodes,” he added, highlighting the importance of evaluating the competitive context. Paratici expressed confidence in the path the team is undertaking, defining the squad as "balanced" thanks to the offensive and defensive talent it possesses.
As for Dodò, Paratici specified that the situation has always been clear: at the end of the previous season the player had expressed his desire to find a solution other than Fiorentina. “We were available in the event of a valid offer, but there wasn't one,” he explained, making it clear that the absence of a proposal has generated some difficulties in approaching the new season. Now, however, Dodò is training well and has integrated into the team, with Paratici considering him an element "of the squad" as long as he is present.
The coach reiterated that there are no shortcuts in the path of building the team: "We have undertaken a very clear path, knowing that we will find difficulties because it is a little different. There are no shortcuts, we must face it by trying to optimize the work". In this sense, Fiorentina aims to consolidate its structure, focusing on a balanced team ready to compete in Serie A.
With the match against Inter scheduled, Fiorentina aims to consolidate their position in the league table, taking advantage of the determination of the new coach and the active participation of Dodò. The club will continue to monitor the players' situation, assessing any additions or changes to the squad to ensure a competitive and well-organised season.
