Zola: Fiorentina had a bad start but I have confidence in Pioli, the next step may be the turning point

October 16th Italian star Zola talked about Florence and other topics in an interview with Firenze Viola Radio.

Fiorentina had a bad start in Serie A this season, scoring only 3 points in the first 6 league rounds.

This is indeed unusual. This kind of start was not smooth, which surprised me. But I still have full confidence in Fiorentina and coach Pioli. It's been a slow start, but the team has quality. Although I don't fully understand it, Fiorentina is very competitive. Sometimes similar situations happen, especially after a coaching change, and the start of the season can be difficult. Idalino also experienced this when he was at Bologna last season.

Florence's opponents in the next three rounds of Serie A are Milan, Bologna, and Inter Milan... Will this be a difficult schedule?

There are indeed risks, but the important thing is to keep working hard and believe in the work you are doing. These games may seem impossible to win, but they also have the potential to be a turning point in a comeback.

Faccioli joined Fiorentina in February this year. He performed well last season, but why has he lost the chance to play recently?

I haven’t paid much attention to him recently, but I have watched Facioli’s growth in the Juventus youth team and Serie C. He's a smart player who knows how to play well and he's very talented. If Fagioli can manage his life - and being a professional footballer means taking care of things off the field - then he has the potential to reach the top level.

Gudmundsson joined Fiorentina on loan last summer and was bought out by Fiorentina this summer. However, he only scored 1 goal in the UEFA Champions League in 7 appearances this season.

He is working hard. We must trust capable players. Players with this trait need time to show themselves, and you need to be patient with them. Maybe Gudmundsson also encountered some physical problems or other factors, but I believe that players like him will be able to show his strength sooner or later.
