In the pre-match of Fiorentina-Juventus, to the microphones of Sport Mediaset the purple executive spoke Joe Barone who spoke a few minutes before the kick-off of the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final: “Fiorentina will go at a thousand per hour, that’s for sure. For us it’s a very important match, we care a lot about the Italian Cup: it’s a way to get to Europe and for us these two matches are a World Cup final We deserved a place here, now we play it on the pitch. Vlahovic? He is not our player, he is part of Fiorentina’s past. He will be welcomed as the fans want, everyone makes certain choices, some clearly and some not. It will be a great challenge, let’s enjoy it ”.

On the viola, who is the top player? “I would say the group, starting with the club, which believes in the work of the Italian. There is the merit of the total, the club wanted this system. Piatek and Cabral? Our game brings a lot of balls to the attackers in the penalty area. but their role is difficult because they have to keep the ball. We have made good choices, they are scoring and this is the important thing. The season? I am very satisfied with where we are today. We have created a family and a style of play, for Europe we don’t have to have ups and downs anymore. Milenkovic? Nikola is a key player in our defense, we would like the team to be stable. We will see if requests arrive, we will be prepared to build a Fiorentina with players who want to stay in Florence to compete for Europe. “
