Fiorentina, the days of the turning point. Salerno, Bergamo: five days at full throttle

From Salerno to Bergamo: Fiorentina can’t switch off in the championship ahead of the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg

“A mixture of suffering and satisfaction that Fiorentina have now become accustomed to, especially on those European nights. Vincenzo Italiano the assault on the Czech fort had prepared him like this, also accepting the wave of criticism for the defeating match in the first leg. But conceding a goal would have been a semi-catastrophe, and in the analysis we also have to re-evaluate the ninety minutes played in Plzen.” So The nation opens the pages dedicated to the Viola, underlining how the Viola are focused on the cups but without neglecting the championship.

From Salerno you will necessarily have to return with the three points in your pocket – we read -, to also better prepare for the return match against Atalanta. The Arechi match must be faced like a European match not to be missed, like those challenges that Fiorentina are difficult to overcome when they are in deep water. It’s too important to relaunch the race in the championship, to stay there, attacked, point by point. It’s obvious that the team’s thoughts and direction will look closely at Wednesday’s match, but first we need to get back to the three points.
