- Prandelli remains positive
Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli says his side face a major challenge to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, following a 1-1 draw at home to PSV Eindhoven.
La Viola were held to a 1-1 draw by the Dutch outfit in the Artemio Franchi in the first leg of the quarter-final tie, leaving Prandelli's side with a lot of work to do.
He said after the draw: "It was a great game. The team had a lot of energy as they looked to create pressure and play well. We go there convinced that we can go through.
"In the second half we didn't get to play very much at all. We tried to raise the tempo, but they are a great team and did well to keep possession and slow it down.
"We must not focus on necessarily what went wrong with us, but rather the fact PSV are a great team who came into this competition via the Champions League and played very well."
