Today's home defeat in a key match against Parma could see Fiorentina make a big slide down the Serie A table, after going into the match in fourth place.

Coach Cesare Prandelli doesn't feel like complaining too much about his team's performance.

"We were going through a good moment, and the break may have caused us some problems," he said to Sky. "We weren't lucky, but we have no regrets, Parma did really well. All three of their goals came from our mistakes, we made errors in defence, in football it can happen.

"On [Davide] Lanzafame's goal we just had to wait for [Christian] Panucci and instead we tried to play the offside trap but it was useless. Tonight's defeat reminded me of the one against Lecce last season. Too bad because when it was 2-2 I hoped we could win."

On the upcoming Champions League match against Lyon, the coach said: "I'm not sure who will recover, perhaps just [Per] Kroldrup, the others won't make it, including [Adrian] Mutu."
