I am aware that the match is felt from an emotional point of view, certainly in this environment I am interested in tomorrow's match. I am focused on our path, the matches are all heartfelt, I would like it to be like this for everyone.
We are playing against Fiorentina and this has allowed us to concentrate on them. They are in the top positions for many numbers, they are very capable in lateral attacks, they are first in cuts inside and outside, they also know how to restart. They have an excellent dribble and a particular style of play, it's a team with important positional play and many qualities. We tried to understand what any weak points could be, we worked harder than us first of all.
We are proceeding by priority, we face an opponent who tells us they are skilled in both phases. We must change the way we defend and attack, we face a strong team close to the Europe zone. Each team has quality and has areas where they can put themselves in difficulty. I would like these questions at the end of the game, asking them now would mean killing yourself.
