Pioli: We must have the courage to control the ball. We performed well in the first half but not well in the second half.

In the 4th round of Serie A held early this morning, Fiorentina lost 1-2 to Como at home. Fiorentina coach Pioli attended the post-match press conference.

Florence often uses long passes in the game. Is this a problem left by last season?

If the team has this problem, I have to find a solution because it is a necessary step to improve the level. We must have the courage to control the ball. I thought it would take less time to do this, but now it seems that it will take more time, but this is something we have to do. I understand the disappointment of the fans and I'm sorry that our performance brought a negative atmosphere. We have improved in some ways, but not doing well enough in that, so we need to work harder.

Why did you choose a double striker formation?

We have worked very hard over the past week and we need to gradually find tacit understanding and will do better over time and understand each other. I didn't arrange for Goodmondson to play because I haven't seen him perform well in the past week.

There is insufficient ball control. Is this a personality or a tactical problem?

I don't think it's a personality issue because our roster is very high. The only young player on the court today is Fortiny, and the other players have performed well in Serie A. We did a lot of effort in team building, we did a good job in the first half but not good enough in the second half. Cavilia and Mandelagora need to improve further in terms of running and they need to cooperate more closely. Overcoming opponents’ pressure and pressing is essential to become a high-level team.
