| Prandelli hails Viola approach |
Sunday 7 December, 2008 |

Cesare Prandelli believes Fiorentina's attitude was the key to a crushing victory away to Torino this afternoon.
“We have given a sense of consistency to our away form after the good performance at Roma,” he said of the 4-1 triumph in Turin.
“Of course, scoring after two minutes gave us even more enthusiasm and took it away from Torino, as that momentum is everything in football.
“We must continue to improve, because we certainly have room to do so, and always seek the three points.”
The Viola have lost five of their eight away games, winning just three, but this was a positive development considering they must travel to Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Adrian Mutu opened the scoring straight away with a splendid free kick before Alberto Gilardino's brace and a Zdravko Kuzmanovic strike.
“Mutu did everything to be there for the Champions League game last week, even if he wasn't 100 per cent fit, but now he has got his form back and it shows.
“It is not an issue of the tactical system, but rather of our approach. We went out there very aggressively from the start and forced Torino to rely on the long ball.”
