Paulo Sousa celebrated Fiorentina’s climb into second place, but “feels bad” for Giuseppe Rossi.

The Viola crushed Udinese 3-0 to leapfrog Napoli, who fell 3-2 at Bologna, and move only one point adrift of new Serie A leaders Inter.

“We all believe in what we’re doing. At times it works, others it doesn’t, but the team is always ready to win with great hunger and quality football,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

Paulo Sousa celebrated Fiorentina’s climb into second place, but “feels bad” for Giuseppe Rossi.

The Viola crushed Udinese 3-0 to leapfrog Napoli, who fell 3-2 at Bologna, and move only one point adrift of new Serie A leaders Inter.

“We all believe in what we’re doing. At times it works, others it doesn’t, but the team is always ready to win with great hunger and quality football,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

“We are trying to give a sense of consistency to our performances, both individually and as a group. We want to improve more every game.

“My players have always been very eager to work. It was a difficult match today and we did very well. It required a lot of intensity, both collective and individual, and we played some great football that allowed us to win.

“Federico Bernardeschi is doing very well and each week getting more and more into this new role out wide.”

Rossi was disappointed at the lack of playing time and did not even come off the bench today.

“I said many times I feel bad for him. He’s a champion who can still give so much, but right now we are doing well with these men.

“He needs to make sure he is always ready. He will return to the top and have his opportunities.”

Fiorentina face Juventus next weekend and the Bianconeri have surged into fifth place, just six points off the top spot.

“We will need full concentration for that game. How will the Juve fans greet me? I’ve had respect everywhere in my career and I hope Turin will be the same.”
