After a day of rest, Fiorentina resumed training in view of the next two matches close to the Franchi: Wednesday at 21 against Benevento for the 16 / i of the Italian Cup and Sunday at 12.30 with Sassuolo for the penultimate match of ' gone.
Inside and around the team, the atmosphere is one of great enthusiasm and trust and this allows Vincenzo Italiano to work in the best possible way: the three consecutive victories in the league against Sampdoria, Bologna and Salernitana have consolidated the fifth place and the goal of the coach. it is to maintain this position for as long as possible.
There is a desire for Europe in the purple clan, also for this reason there is no intention of snubbing the Cup which can represent a way to return to where Fiorentina have been missing since 2016-17. The training choices will revolve around the top scorer Dusan Vlahovic: it is difficult to hypothesize his exclusion on Wednesday, more likely that the Serbian - 32 goals in 2021, to one from Cristiano Ronaldo's 2020 record - will start as always in the starting game, catching his breath. Among other things, precisely in the Italian Cup, last August 13, Vlahovic resumed his ride by scoring a brace at Cosenza. Italian should relaunch Benassi, Saponara, Venuti, while the recovery of Castrovilli, Dragowski and Nastasic, struggling for some time with injuries, appears complicated.
Meanwhile, the general manager, Joe Barone, attended the opening of the Family Center of the Meyer pediatric hospital: the purple club has for some time been closely collaborating with the structure whose logo has been on the training uniforms this season.
