Serie A, Sassuolo-Fiorentina opens the last day

First Sassuolo, then West Ham. Fiorentina is preparing to play the last important matches of its long and arduous season: the most important, the Conference League final in Prague on June 7 against the English team already in retreat in Portugal "where it is preparing in peace, unlike us" commented Vincenzo Italiano who tonight will be awaited by the last of the championship, moreover important in view of eighth place. "There are heavy points up for grabs, I asked the boys to honor this challenge", he continued but the thought is inevitably for the appointment next Wednesday that will convoy to Prague about eight thousand fans (even if only five thousand will be able to access the small Eden Arena facility), while those who remain in Florence will be able to go and follow the final on the giant screens of the Franchi stadium opened for the occasion. "We arrive after an exciting year, aware of our strength and eager to give joy to our people - said the viola technician -. I have no superstitious rituals. I'm just saying that I hope I don't see my boys crying like in Rome." The reference is to the defeat suffered in the Italian Cup final against Inter for 2-1, also for this reason in the purple clan there is a desire to redeem that disappointment. "However it ends, our journey will have been positive. We deserved to get to these two finals, it doesn't happen to everyone. When I arrived in Florence they asked me not to suffer anymore after some disappointing seasons, I think we went beyond expectations. Although obviously we do not want nor must stop. Never set limits, those who do this job must always try to reach perfection". The path errors have not been lacking, the goal of Italiano and his team is to limit them and above all try to close the 60 games played (record for the club) this season. Precisely for this reason, Italiano wanted to cut short in front of the rumors that approach him to Napoli for the post-Spalletti: "I don't listen to them, I don't care. I'm just focused on these last two games and I only think about the good of the Viola." A Fiorentina that, said captain Cristiano Biraghi, will do everything to bring back to Florence a trophy that has been missing for 22 years: "With Italiano they have been two very positive years, now we try to close the circle by taking the cup. But first we think about Sassuolo, doing well would give us a further boost towards Wednesday" Cabral reassured Sky about his condition: "I had problems with an ankle but now I'm fine and I hope to help the team".
