Paulo Sousa felt it was a job well done as Fiorentina emerged with a 2-1 victory away to Qarabag. “I never had doubts on Federico Chiesa.”

The Viola needed only a point in Baku to ensure qualification.

“Did we risk defeat? All we can do is focus on scoring more goals than the opposition and we achieved that,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

Paulo Sousa felt it was a job well done as Fiorentina emerged with a 2-1 victory away to Qarabag. “I never had doubts on Federico Chiesa.”

The Viola needed only a point in Baku to ensure qualification.

“Did we risk defeat? All we can do is focus on scoring more goals than the opposition and we achieved that,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“Today we wanted to get first place in the group and we did it. The team is continuing to consolidate the good work done in recent weeks.”

Teenage midfielder Chiesa both scored the winning goal and was sent off, although the first yellow card appeared to be a case of mistaken identity.

“I think all the players are working hard and want to go far in their careers. We are Coaches, we work daily to help everyone grow and improve both as people and players.

“Chiesa is a lad I never had any doubts on. He is continuing his journey. Borja Valero coming off the bench today gave us more sharpness and the team benefited.”
