Barak introduces himself: “Florence for me represents a great leap in quality. On the role … “

Soon he will speak in the usual press conference of presentation Antonin Barakpurple midfielder arrived this summer since Verona. Below you can read the text of the words of the new player of the Fiorentina:

The viola ds Daniele Pradè begins to speak: “I slept little last night but I wanted to be here to introduce Antonin, even if you all know him well as he has already played four games. Barak was the one we were looking for to complete our midfield“

Antoin Barak now takes the floor:

On the many games played right away: “It had never happened to me that I was immediately so employed but it made me happy to have competed in official competitions with the purple jersey right from the start.“

On the role of half wing: “I knew I was going to do this role. Here I am very happy. With Juric I was playing in front row but the tactical tasks were those of the half wing. I have always played in this position even before my experience in Italy“

On the emotion of the first goal in viola and last night’s draw: “I could already score against Napoli. With our game ideas we create a lot but we have to be more alert and naughty within the area. However, I am convinced that the goals will come. Scoring at the Franchi yesterday was a great joy, I hope to score others, even if I’m not happy with the result. Yesterday’s race is a hiccup but we have to continue on our way“

On the passage in an important square like Florence: “I arrived in a very organized club that is growing, as seen in the last year. I want to grow with Fiorentina thanks to the coach’s ideas. For me, coming here was a big leap in quality. We all have to grow like minded, so we can achieve great results“.

On the reception of the fans and on the next championship match: “From the first day I joined the club, the coaches and teammates made me feel good. The fans are warm and have welcomed me very well, this pleased me. As for Bologna, we all now know that our weak point is in the finalization. If we improve we can win them. Bologna is not in an easy situation, that’s why we have to go there and take the three points“.

About his physical condition: “I am very well, I have made an important preparation and I am putting the pace. The team is doing well too. Now we just have to recover some injuries. Playing every three days we are going to have some ailments, that’s why we must be all ready. Already in my first match against Napoli I saw the high level of intensity that is here“.

On the merits the defects: “I still have many flaws, everything about a player can be improved. I prefer not to talk about the weak points, I just say that I came from the Czech Republic and I adapted to Italy, which is not easy. What is helping me a lot is my head, that can make me take a further qualitative leap“

On the Italian game: “We create a lot and always put our opponents down. The coach struck me for his passion and his ambition for him, even if I don’t know him yet, it is clear that he is a great professional.“.

On the low prolificacy in front of goal: “It can only be improved through work in training and perhaps by mentally unblocking some players through a goal“.

On the number of goals of the season: “I don’t care how many goals I will score. What is more important is that the team does well. I was chosen for my skills in the area, this is what I will bring to Fiorentina“.

On Italian: “He is a technician very similar to Juric. They both have a great desire to arrive and mentality. The game, on the other hand, is a bit different. With Italiano you play more with the ball and it is not only a beautiful thing to see but it also helps on the pitch to create more chances, then we will have to be good at scoring.“

Antonin Barak’s presentation conference ends here.
