Fiorentina make their life difficult but beat Club Brugge in the first act. However, Italiano loses Sottil

Fiorentina is Fiorentinafinds itself in an advantageous situation both in terms of scores and numerical superiority but in the end, finding the most unexpected flash (that of Nzola who returned after almost a month of missing calls) and winning the first leg of the Conference League semi-final with the result 3-2 against Club Brugge.

Another good collective performance for the Viola, launched by an excellent Sottil again, by Belotti who found the goal again after two and a half months (it is his second since being in Florence, first in the Conference) and finally by Nzola. There is something to rejoice for Italiano, but Fiorentina in view of the return leg, and in order to secure the ticket to the final in Athens, must fix some defensive situations and global attention.

Italian in his analysis tries to look at both sides of the coin offered by the victory: “In the meantime we won and this is important. Then there is great regret because if Belotti turns around and scores 3-1 the match for me ends with a greater result and instead their defender shoots it long and they score. There was a 7-8 minute delay, but well done to those who came in. We won and we took the lead there, in my opinion we played a great game, creating and managing more advantage, the regret is not having made better use of some opportunities.” And, bad news, he lost Sottil until the end of the season.
