Mattia Viti It presents itself to the Florentine press as a new purple footballer. After the season on loan to Empoli, Fiorentina decided to focus on him by picking him up, with the same formula from Nice. These are the full declarations of the 2002 class:

“A pride being here. I was born and raised here. My family is Fiorentina. My father Simone had the chills when I signed. Pioli? Asks us simple things: high defense and incomplete. We try to put them into practice in the field”

“I never removed the caps on the ears. I always gave them to me and I always keep them. I come from two relegations. But I want and I put commitment to it, especially here. I feel at home and the conditions to do well there are”

“As a child maybe I was close but I don’t know. To those who inspire me? To those who did well here like Milenkovic or Ranieri. Luca welcomed me very well and it is exceptional”

“A fundamental part of my life. I grew up there for 14 years. I will never forget the blue. In Nice it did not go very sporty. But humanly it served me so much. The step I would do it again. See football out of Italy helped me so much. Position? Game where I am told and I have no preferences. I made the central and the left center, I have no preferences”

“The coach has written to us on the blackboard for how much you don’t win here. The goal is to do better than last year but we don’t put limits. If you can dream of the Champions League, why not do it?”

“In Empoli I worked hard to improve the characteristics as a defender with Bianconi”

“I don’t know what Andreazzoli was referring to when he said about me. Maybe because I don’t like losing, Rosico even when I lose in matches. What do I expect? To win as much as possible”

“I say something out of normal. My grandfather always came home and we saw Fiorentina, every Sunday. I had the shirts of Frey, Pazzini and Toni. Pazzini’s 29 became a mantra. My friends call me the crazy Pazzini. And they also gave me 29 as a parking number”

“I am everywhere, in a place like this even more, rightly. For me it will be even more rewarding to see myself with this shirt on”

“I judge badly, because I am training separately. Outside the field it is very good. He speaks five languages and in the attitude he did not make a mistake. It seems very good to me”

“It will be necessary to take a few goals. We have to work all together and I think the coach for this has asked for compactness. That will be the key”

“It is a year smaller than me but he was always aggregated with us. With him I have a very close relationship, especially since the last year. We did everything together. I can only speak well of him. And he is happy to be here”

“I have the same impression as when I was in Empoli. They are two champions. One is explosive and moves you and kicks in one meter. The other binds the game impressively. I am lucky to be here with them”

“When I got the voices of Fiorentina, it was pure emotion. The negotiation was successful, well”
