Florence, 21 April 2024 – Fiorentina returns to victory in the championship, which was missing since 26 February against Lazio, and relaunches itself in the European race as regards the championship road. Very large training rotations for Vincenzo Italiano, who begins the post-match analysis by talking about Kouame. “He made the most of those minutes he had in his legs, he was very tired and he told me so before the match. We preferred not to risk it, there are too many important commitments. I have to thank those who made themselves available like Barak and the others. There are many commitments, recovering energy is not easy and we had to leave several guys at home. We are happy with the attitude and the victory, we needed it for the classification.” Victory that had been missing since February 26th in the championship… “In some matches we were not precise; we are first in the pole classification, we missed six penalties. It’s sad to have lost a few positions, but we are achieving the objective of staying within the three competitions. Today we wanted to score points, we are happy with the prospect of all the commitments we have.” Do you plan to recover the players who remained in Florence by Wednesday? “They were not spared just for the sake of it, we hope to recover them because they all have some problems. You all know how much Jack, Nico and the others determine for us. Nzola? There are personal reasons, I hope he can be calm and mentally free as soon as possible. You have also seen today how we took to the field.” How did you see Castrovilli? “He’s been well for a while and is eager to get minutes. He’s going strong, he has quality. It’s important to recover him and give him minutes. You know how important a Castrovilli in condition can be for us in this final sprint.” You had a big turnover, was it inevitable today? “We are forced, we have the merit of being in matches of a certain level in May. We cannot switch off, we all have to be inside, motivated and ready. Everyone is needed in these close matches. A trauma, a recovery not fast, it makes you lose important players and then you have to draw from the squad.” What is the goal in the championship? “We haven’t made any choices or tables. We have to always do well, today we won and we could have done it against Genoa too. There are still many games available and then we’ll see where we are in the end. All the games count, getting there with enthusiasm is important” . What did he say to Biraghi in the end? “I told him that coming here to take away points wasn’t easy. When you play matches with the right attention you can achieve any result.” Alessandro Latini
