From the Wind Tre Media Center at Viola Park, here are the words of Fiorentina midfielder Michael Folorunsho:

DRESSING ROOM

“I immediately saw how healthy and united the dressing room was, with a coach aiming for significant targets. There are many leaders among the players. We aren’t in the best run of form, but with hard work, we’ll overcome this situation. I especially want to sincerely thank President Commisso, who I spoke to on the phone this morning.”

WHY FIORENTINA

“There had already been contact last summer, so I didn’t think twice when the opportunity came in January. It’s a great honor to be here and I’ll always give my all on the pitch to show my determination.”

POSITION

“The coach and I share the same perspective. Position is a mental barrier; everything is in our heads and I’m fully available to the team.”

NAPOLI

“I prefer to talk about the present, not the past, especially since I’m now a Fiorentina player. I left Napoli simply because I was looking for more involvement.”

BOVE

“Edoardo was having a fantastic season. I’ll try my best to perform as well as he did, but ultimately, my own qualities will make the difference on the pitch. Edoardo is a great guy and I’m sure he’ll give me good advice.”

PALLADINO

“He has made a great impression on me. Hearing his trust gives me a lot of energy and I hope to repay him with my performances.”

GOALS

“To do well, earn a permanent move to Fiorentina and get back into the national team.”
