The head coach at Fiorentina, Vincenzo Italiano has revealed that he chooses midfielders for matchdays based on form and behaviour in training during the week.

This season, Ghanaian international Alfred Duncan is one of eight midfielders at the Viola club after several attempts to find a club for him in the summer did not materialize.

Fortunately, the midfielder has had his fair share of game time in the early parts of the season and appears to have won over head coach Vincenzo Italiano.

Opening on how he chooses from the many midfielders at his disposal, the Fiorentina coach has explained it is done “based on the state of form, based on the behavior during the week, based on the race strategy. We have eight midfielder, the problem is mine now, of the coach so I will always try to send players who can do a great performance on the pitch.”

Alfred Duncan, 28, is enjoying a good spell in the Italian Serie A and has pledged to continue working to help his team.
