Read Niccolo Fortini’s post-match comments following the UEFA Conference League match against Mainz.

Fiorentina showed a proactive attitude tonight, but it wasn’t enough.

“Unfortunately it’s a rough period for us. We give it our all in every match, but clearly it’s not enough. We need to work on certain things. We’re figuring out how to get out of this bad situation.”

Fiorentina desperately need a win now to regain confidence. You had some chances to secure the win.

“It we were off to a good start, but anything can happen in football. We will continue to work every day as a team and as a family. I’m sure we will celebrate again with our fans away and at home. I strongly believe we will make it.”

You were very proactive throughout the entire match.

“Thank you. I always try to give it everything because it’s an honor for me to play with these teammates and for this club. I’ve been playing for Fiorentina since I was eight years old. Now that I’m here, I’ll always give it my all.”

You have another important match coming up, maybe more important than tonight’s match

“We will treat our match on Sunday like a final. We’ll be ready and confident that we will take those three points home. Winning would be great.”
