Eight points in nine matches, already one coaching change- Fiorentina did not expect to get off to such a slow start. The Tuscan club's sporting director Daniele Prade' addressed the current difficult situation in an interview with RTV38:"Today we don't have the chemistry that we had in the past with the fans. We have nineteen new players, some don't know what it's like to play at the Franchi because if you don't live in Florence, you can't understand. There are two parties responsible: myself first and then the team. We have fourteen international caliber players, you can't lose to Sampdoria and Benevento and draw against Spezia"
Prade' was asked about the anemic attack:"We only have two goals from strikers, that is very few. Cutrone's option to buy for €16 million kicks in after 26 games as a starter, but no one stopped managers from using him, because if he scores, he's worth more than that. We acquired Kouame' when he was injured, but once he was back, we saw a lot of nice things. In the summer we turned down a significant offer from an English team. For Vlahohic, Roma and an English club made significant offers, but we turned them down"
