Fiorentina-Venezia 0-0: Viola seasoned for a draw, few emotions at Franchi

Firenze – It ends with zero goals, very little emotion and the protest by the Curva Fiesole towards the club on a truly surreal day. Loud whistles directed at the players and the banner that ironically speaks of “ambition” precisely in the hours in which the now ex number ten Nico Gonzalez undergoes medical examinations and signs the new contract with Juventus.

«The race report»

On the field, Parisi, Richardson and Kean try for Fiorentina. Venezia responds with Zampano, above all, and with a sensational Joronen who especially in the second part of the first half takes the stage. Then Di Francesco snatches a precious point, after the defeat in the debut against Lazio. For Palladino, the third draw in as many official outings, including the first leg of the Conference League playoff against Puskas Akademia.

The Joronen Wall

In the first half, few emotions and all of them from the Viola. Kouame tries with a beautiful overhead kick that forces Joronen to send it to the corner. Then Parisi tries, able to escape quickly on the left and shoot at goal, and Richardson forces the Venezia goalkeeper to intervene at the near post. The Curva Fiesole, which supports Palladino’s team throughout the match, then displays a banner that puts both the club and Nico Gonzalez in their sights with the Argentine’s sale to Juventus which occurred just a few hours ago: “Your ambition is to sell our passion”.

The note Lieta Richardson

Chants against the Bianconeri, towards the player but also addressed to the Viola management: “Respect our shirt” and “we need to spend to win” a few days after the transfer market closed and with messages from Palladino who has repeatedly, even publicly, asked for reinforcements in every department to complete his team. Worth noting, for Fiorentina, is Richardson’s debut as a starter, which represents the happiest news of the evening at the Franchi. Good ideas, a poisonous conclusion, excellent personality for the midfielder who played in tandem with his compatriot Amrabat. Gudmundsson was also in the stands, working to return to top condition.
