Emiliano Viviano he is a different player from the others. Although he is a professional who plays at the highest level, he has never hidden that he is a Fiorentina fan. And he continues to prove it with facts: on Saturday evening the goalkeeper (who had played the day before with his Karagumruk in Turkey) was present at the San Siro and witnessed the Viola’s 1-1 draw against Inter. Violanews.com he contacted him exclusively to ask him for some opinions on Fiorentina issues.

What impression did Fiorentina make on you?

“It was the first time I saw her live and I saw her very well. She played very well, with personality and aggression. Too bad for the usual finishing problems, but I consider it the lesser evil than what was done. We wanted to see a Fiorentina with an identity, a team in which to identify ourselves that would try to dominate on all fields. And that is, the rest can be improved “.

And your friend Torreira (they were teammates at Sampdoria) is increasingly decisive …

“He is a beast and I expected he would do very well. Because he is phenomenal for this kind of game, in shortening high, in intensity. I heard him via text, when I come to Florence I hope to meet him even if you I’ll reveal something. Lucas is all home-field. In two years in Genoa I have never seen him anywhere (laughs, ed) “.

You see similarities with yours Fiorentina of the first year of Montella?

“Honestly few. We had a different way of keeping the field, a game more wide, a persistent ball possession. This Fiorentina plays well with the ball but does even better without it, focuses more on intensity.”

How many hopes are there to return to Europe, also considering the competitors (Rome, Lazio and Atalanta)?

“It’s tough, but it was known from the beginning of the year. But Fiorentina are playing it and have the advantage of having less pressure compared to the others.

Are you feeling Vlahovic’s farewell?

“Not much, it doesn’t seem to me that the attacking game has been affected. The only thing you notice is that there is no finalization, but as I said before it is the last trial. All the rest of the work is there and it is the most important thing. Then about Vlahovic’s farewell I would like to clarify one thing. Some words of mine were misreported during a 2 hour live on twitch, the phrase about mercenary presidents and who now think about business I had said it speaking in general, not of the specific case. Then in another moment about Vlahovic I said that in the end everyone won, he because he went where he wanted, Juve because he had his striker and Fiorentina because, not being able to renew, he earned a lot of money . Maybe there could be better communication from everyone. “

From goalkeeper to goalkeeper, how do you judge Terracciano’s “overtaking” on Dragowski?

“I like Dragowski, but Pietro is doing very well and he deserved to stay where he is. At the beginning it was also a question of characteristics, the fact that he was better with his feet weighed heavily, but then he deserved the place from holder to the sound of performances “.

For next year is it right to focus on a young emerging Carnesecchi type?

“Having Terracciano shown that he can be there, it could be a good strategy to support him with a young man to grow up to become the new owner. Carnesecchi I am following him carefully and I like it. age I would not have done it. I do not know if he is ready to be the owner in Florence right away, maybe yes “.

You who have been there, what did you think seeing the chants for Venuti after the mistake with Juve?

“What mistake? (Laughs, ed). I was talking about it with friends, in my opinion he is the only one who had no faults in that action. Playing in Fiorentina for a Florentine has more disadvantages than advantages. Feel the double, everything is amplified both for better and for worse, you must have a balance. We talk to Lorenzo every now and then, he has great seriousness and professionalism, he just has to be calm and think about himself. “

After some time, do you have any regrets about your adventure in purple?

“No, I’m happy because it has always been my dream and I realized it, then it went in another way but that’s okay. I never took it badly. It was a wonderful year, I played in the team of my heart. I have never thought about regrets in my career. Now I’m in Turkey and I’m fine there, I don’t have it in my head to go back. Nor to stop “.

Are you offended if I tell you that the image of you freezing on the pitch made us have fun?(see video above)

“I had less fun … Then of course afterwards I laughed about it. Too bad I had put on 3/4 shirts to fight the cold and therefore in the video it seems that I weigh 100 kilos”.
