Serie A on the pitch at 12.30 with
Fiorentina-Empoli
.
Redeeming the defeat of the first leg and resuming the race for Europe: this is the goal of Fiorentina expected at the Franchi from the derby with Empoli, a match that Vincenzo Italiano has made it clear that he is very afraid.
'' Compared to the trip to Castellani we have grown and matured but it must be demonstrated - said the Viola coach -.
As on every eve, I am worried, even more so this time for the danger of our opponents and for having had just two days to prepare for this challenge in full.
Furthermore, after the stops we have never done great things .. We hope that our national teams happy to have qualified for the World Cup will put their joy on the pitch for an arrembante Fiorentina.
We want to win.
This square needs to see a team that always plays to try to win and entertain the public, sometimes we run some risks but our way of playing has led us to a good ranking and to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup.
Who is the favorite among us, Atalanta, Rome and Lazio?
Who will have more balance and continuity will go to Europe, for us it would be the icing.
So far we have had a good championship but you can always make masterpieces ... ''.
