Fiorentina and Viktoria Plzen draw 0-0 in the first leg of the Conference League quarter-finals. The Viola lost 2-1 to West Ham a year ago, a disappointment that Vincenzo Italiano and his players have not yet gotten over.
"We have never underestimated any opponent since we started this European adventure and we won't do so this time either," says the coach. The first leg takes place at the home of Plzen, a Czech team which, like the Viola team itself and Lille, is still unbeaten in the current Conference. The only absentee is Castrovilli excluded from the UEFA lists, the only missed player is Beltran, Dodo, Quarta and Arthur among the starters in the Violas' starting line-up for the quarter-final clash with the Czech side. The second leg will take place in Plzen's home town of Prague on Wednesday (6.45 pm), with the second leg taking place in Lille's home ground of Lille on Sunday (6pm)
