The words of coach Stefano Pioli from the Wind Tre Media Center at Viola Park ahead of the Serie A match against Napoli on Saturday.
NAPOLI – “They’ve strengthened a lot and they won Serie A last season. They’re the favorites for the Scudetto and will definitely have their say in the Champions League too. We’re a good team as well. Tomorrow won’t be a game affected by European fatigue for either side. We know their strengths, and we’ll need conviction, confidence and clear ideas.”
CONTE – “Antonio is one of the best coaches in Europe, but tomorrow it’ll be the players who make the difference on the pitch.”
FORWARDS – “Moise [Kean] and Edin [Dzeko]came back from international duty with great confidence after scoring for their countries. We’ll make the most of their hunger to do well. As for [Albert] Gudmundsson, we’ll see how he is tomorrow morning.”
CAVIGLIA – “He’s in good condition and he’s a player who sees the pass and brings dynamism. A really good signing by the club.”
TACTICS – “When out of possession, communication will be very important, because Napoli have so many options. Our defensive phase will need to be very focused throughout.”
COMUZZO – “He’s doing well. Pietro is a serious, dedicated guy and happy to be at Fiorentina.”
TRANSFER WINDOW – “We did well in the market, improving the team while keeping our best players. Everyone is motivated and available. Lamptey also has excellent qualities. The squad is complete.”
PENALTIES – “Kean and Gudmundsson are the first two options, then we’ll see. We often make the decision before each match.”
