At Franchi there is Verona, a purple crossroads
On the hunt for a victory that has been missing for almost two months: it is with this goal that Fiorentina will face Verona today, the second consecutive match for the Viola in their stadium after the draw on Wednesday against Sassuolo.
'' A difficult and complicated match awaits us against an opponent who has fully embraced the philosophy of his coach and plays exuberantly and without reverential fears - explained Cesare Prandelli -.
We will need to give our best and even more, we must give continuity to the good performance of the other night and for this I hope to review and find that same positive energy ''.
On the other hand, the classification remains dangerous, Fiorentina are still fourth from last just three points from the relegation zone and for this reason the Viola coach is recommending to his team to immerse themselves in reality, forgetting the summer expectations: '' Wednesday we showed that nobody he wanted to lose, we fought for every ball and so we will have to do tomorrow.
I chose to deploy the three-man defense to remove the team's alibi, as I have been repeating for some time I am not ashamed to defend.
Among the positive notes of the 1-1 against Sassuolo the return to his levels of Ribéry (`` We are trying to make him become even more leader, he must not solve the problems alone but be more and more a point of reference '' he said. Prandelli) and the penalty scored by Vlahovic who did not score since the beginning of October: '' I hope he has been released mentally, I see him calm and he must continue like this ''.
As for the transfer market, the viola coach has postponed everything until after the break: `` Santa's letters are sealed, we will open them together in due time, we have not yet decided when to address the transfer market, now the priority is the team and in particular tomorrow's race ''.
Training chapter: Prandelli has a couple of doubts (Caceres or Igor in defense and Pulgar or Bonaventura in midfield) but it is not excluded that in the end he decides to confirm the same as on Wednesday, including Amrabat at the first ex.
Finally, no reply from the ds Daniele Pradè to the Verona coach Ivan Juric who today during the eve press conference contested some statements made a few weeks ago regarding the Venetian team.
