Mister Vincenzo Italian spoke in the press room at the end of Fiorentina-Monzamatch in which the Viola took the lead thanks to a goal by Cabral, failing however to overwhelm the Brianza players, who obtained the 1-1 final thanks to a goal by Carlos Augusto. Here are the words of the lily coach.

About the match

—

“Monza are a team that as soon as you slow down the pace a little try to break in and hurt you. After a month and a half of inactivity we had a great first half. We did well in the second half too, even if with a pinch of quality in less. If we had won we wouldn’t have stolen anything, even if Petagna pardoned us in the end. We started off well overall”.

On White

—

“The biggest difficulty for such a young boy is managing his strength and minutes. For me he did well and had a great personality because it’s not easy. He convinced me in these pre-season friendlies. He has quality, he carries the ball well. His was a good start.”

On the tour de force and on Cabral and Jovic

“We have one match after another. Anyone who has had a few ailments and hasn’t reached 100% has been alternated. Tonight’s choices were also made from this point of view. Could the Cabral-Jovic change have been made earlier? Not I know. Two minutes earlier Cabral had started running on the wing and he was fine. For me, if some ball arrived in the area he could score again. Today it was difficult to form up and keep someone out. In a few days we will play and we will see who will come to play the starting position”.
