Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella was satisfied with their 1-1 draw with Parma.

Gaetano Castrovilli's diving header cancelled out the Gervinho counter-attack at the Stadio Franchi.

We struggled and I didn't like the attitude in the first half, as we lacked determination both on the ball and off it. We conceded when losing possession in midfield," Montella told Sky Sport Italia.

I don't know if we felt the pressure with so many young players on the field, or the change of system affected them or what caused it, but we saw a different team after the break.

The team reacted very well and showed maturity. That means we are on our way to achieving that mentality. Perhaps the goal was the wake-up call we needed to get more players into the opposition box.

We knew Parma would defend and counter, so we kept a lot of possession, but if we'd been more precise, we could've taken home all three points."
