The Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano he spoke before the return match against Club Brugge, the second leg of the Conference League semi-final after the 3-2 in the first leg at the Franchi. This is his thought to Sky Sport: “The thought is that, like last year, we manage to complete this journey to have the chance to play for this trophy. To do this we will have to go through this stadium and this opponent to put them in difficulty like in the first leg, in a match played well despite two errors that cost us two goals. We will have to try to be concrete and not make mistakes, because the episodes will decide it and we will have to get them on our side by playing with head and discipline, both when we have it. the ball when we don’t have it.”
Did the last goals all come from individual errors?
“When we analyze them it’s often a question of attention. We must never switch off, never be superficial because even on a long ball we can suffer, then recovering isn’t easy. We have to know what we’re playing for, what’s at stake is very high and we will have to pay maximum attention without ever letting our guard down because we are playing for something fantastic.”
How is Bonaventura?
“Let’s see tomorrow. Today he did some work separately, let’s see how he feels, we’ll hear his feelings and decide. Everything postponed until tomorrow.”
Two out of three results, does the setting change?
“We have this advantage, but we will always have to do what allowed us to play these matches. The usual aspects that we sometimes abandon will be needed: attention, application and knowing what we are up against. We will hold on to the advantage, we have this goal but we will have to put the opponent in difficulty with our usual principles.”
A summary of your relationship with the Florentine environment?
“The first thought is that Florence is a truly very demanding place, a place that puts that healthy pressure, which gives the stimulus to keep attention high. It’s normal that everyone needs to improve, me first and foremost, who am young and have so much ahead to grow and improve. I can only say that coaching in Florence is a privilege, the purple jersey is something fantastic and the possibility of giving him something extraordinary is nice. We are not finished yet that everyone asks for more… Florence asks for a lot, but for me everything is fine.”
