The former Prime Minister, and great Viola fan, Lamberto Dini spoke on Radio FirenzeViola during the program “Viola Amore Mio” to talk about the current affairs of Fiorentina. These are his words starting from the next round against Viktoria Plzen: “Deserved victory. Yesterday we were more effective and vertical in the match, we dominated. We don’t need slow ball possession of 70%, the defense positions itself, we need verticality.”
Did he suffer in the second half?
“Yes, because the team also lost speed. Then they came out strong again in extra time. The substitutions, Fourth above all, helped and were fair.”
About Nico
“He can make the difference. They always cripple him because they know he is strong and can change games.”
Do you believe in the final?
“There’s a good possibility. Fiorentina can go to the final and they deserve it. Brugge didn’t impress me.”
In the Italian Cup instead?
“It will be tough against Atalanta. The match is actually in the balance. I don’t know how the two teams will fare on a physical level.”
On Italian
“I’m sorry if he goes. He has a very offensive game and therefore the defense becomes exposed. Fiorentina have conceded many goals on the counterattack. If the Viola manage to score in the first half then they can hold on, but if we don’t manage to close the game forward the first half becomes difficult because we can always take risks with a counterattack.”
