In the 36th round of the 2024/25 Serie A season, Fiorentina lost to Venice 1-2 after falling behind by 2 goals thanks to Mandragora's goal. Palladino said that his team will continue to fight for a European qualification in the remaining schedule and encouraged the players to continue to go all out.

The deadlock was not broken until the 60th minute of the second half, when Quique Perez made a lob pass to the penalty area, and Farley Kander stopped the ball and shot into the goal, helping Venice to open the scoring with a 1-0 lead. In the 68th minute, Zerbin made a lob pass to the front of the goal, and Oristano headed the ball into the goal despite the defense, helping Venice to expand its lead to 2-0.

In the 77th minute, Mandragora received a diagonal pass from Yasin Adli in the penalty area and shot the ball into the goal, and Fiorentina equalized the score 1-2.

In the end, Fiorentina lost to Venice 1-2 away. After two consecutive defeats, Fiorentina ranked 9th in the standings with 59 points, and was in a passive position in the fight for European qualification.

Fiorentina coach Palladino said, "We were a little unlucky. First, Luca Ranieri's shot hit the post, and then we lost the second goal in the same attack. We can only accept this result. Although the team responded, we still failed to equalize the score in the end."

"It's a disappointing result because the players and I tried our best, that's why I lost my voice now. Now we have two games left and we have to get as many points as possible."

Fiorentina will face Bologna at home in the next round of Serie A, and will play against Udinese away in the final round.

Palladino said, "Playing a game every three days really consumes the players' physical strength and energy. In the past few days, I have tried to cheer everyone up because being eliminated from the European competition is a big blow."

"Although we lacked the dynamism of the opponent's forwards in counterattacks, the team's overall performance was good. Disappointment is certain, but this is football and we have to accept the result on the field."

In addition, Palladino also said, "There are still two games in this season. If other teams make mistakes like us, we still have a chance to impact the European qualification. Everything is not over yet. I hope everyone can go all out and then see what the result will be after the season."

"As for my contract, what really makes me feel at ease is not the length of the contract, but the work I do every day. Our goal is to return to the European competitions, which is what the players deserve. But unfortunately, you don't always get the rewards you deserve."
