Sporting director Daniele Prade shared his thoughts on Fiorentina’s 3-0 defeat to Inter.

“We played really well in the first half, exactly how we’d prepared to play. It was a tough match against a very good team. They broke the deadlock with a great goal. This match didn’t change our course but Sunday’s game is a matter of life and death for us. The lads – and everyone at the club – need to be aware of this. We need to knuckle down.

“We’ll prepare well for the Lecce game. We feel responsible for the president and our fans, who certainly don’t deserve what we’ve done so far this season.”
