Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano hailed Luka Jovic after victory over Braga.
Jovic scored twice in the first-leg of their 4-0 Europa League Conference League playoff.
"It's always nice when strikers score, we need them at this moment and tonight they dragged us with their goals," Italiano told Sky Italia.
Goals can do miracles, it's what we've been missing so far. Now we need consistency. This win is dedicated to the President who followed us. We wanted to make him happy and we did it. It's an important victory, especially considering how we earned it. We needed it.
All the players have understood that we need to give something more. We knew it was an important game and we approached it the right way.
Now we must do the same in Serie A, where we are a bit behind. I hope this victory will boost the team for the next game with Empoli."
