Rocco Commisso's message for the team

24 October 2020

Ahead of Sunday's game against Udinese, Rocco Commisso wanted to show his support to the team despite not being able to be close to them physically.

Having first made sure that everyone was well, the president explained that after the recent criticism they now have the chance to show their real worth, that they are a good team – a better one than last year.

Commisso stressed the importance of playing as a team and working for each other, which are the same things he used to say to his own team-mates when he was captain of his team.

He asked the more experienced players to help the younger ones to improve while nurturing a strong team spirit and emphasised how important each and every member is, whether they start on the pitch or on the bench.

The president also reminded the players of the importance of having Mediacom on their shirts, with 15,000 people rooting for them from America, all hoping that Fiorentina can set out on a path of success, just as the US company did 24 years ago.

Rocco stressed that the owners and management are all behind the team, as are the entire Viola Family, but that everyone expects 100% commitment and unity starting tomorrow, to show how much they care about the club.

The president ended by saying that he and his wife will be celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary tomorrow and that they hope to receive a wonderful present from the team.
