The message does not change: raise the level and try to win the trophy. Stefano Pioli presents the challenge to the Sigma Olomouc with the desire to relaunch and forget the pains of the championship: “For us this cup is a goal. We will have to be good at finding the right solutions and success. In the conference we want to go to the end, but thinking about the game by game, it would be completely anachronistic to say now that not winning it would be a failure”. And passing to the championship, to those who ask him if he would reiterate, what has been said in the summer, that Fiorentina can aim for the Champions League replies: “That phrase has not been poorly interpreted and I am here to raise the level and this remains the goal. It is true that we did not succeed so far but I believe in what we do and I am sure that I will pull out our values. I am confident that at the end of the season we can be satisfied “. Tomorrow evening challenge can also relaunch the mood compared to the championship where Fiorentina has collected only three points in five games and on Sunday Roma is expected at Franchi.

Sohm out

The first game of the Conference League group against the Sigma Olomouc is theoretically the easiest of this first phase and in addition it is in front of the home audience, even if for now only about 7 thousand coupons sold for tomorrow evening at Franchi. The Czechs struggle in their championship where they are currently positioned in the middle of the standings, with 15 points in 10 days and wait for the game with the Viola to show off internationally. Pioli analyzes: “Our opponents do not mark so much but have the best defense of the championship. They are a physical team and we will also focus on quality. The formation? Tomorrow morning the players will know because I trained all in the double roles, they are all well except Sohm, who has a plantar fascite. On the door he will play De Gea. And then especially in general, from those who have technical qualities we have been waiting for sure. In my opinion we can do better ”. The company has no doubts about the choice and value of its coach and Pioli concludes: “The relationship with the club and the president, whom I feel every week, is of continuous comparison to find solutions and do better. My destiny is linked to the results and I work with great trust and will, as always”.

Small in the field

Next, Roberto Piccolo is a candidate for a starting position, given the disqualification of Moise Kean and it is precisely the former Cagliari to sit alongside Stefano Pioli for the presentation of the eve: “It is my debut in Europe and I want to do my best to bring home the victory. We must always have a positive thought – says Piccolo – and I will try to give everything to help the team. We have talked about the locker, Attach and pay me to score. I can bring my characteristics as an attack on depth, dynamism and presence in the area
