Lucas Martinez Fourth, defender of Fiorentina, spoke to the club’s official channels like this after the 3-2 win over Club Brugge in the Conference League semi-final first leg: “An immense joy. We should have brought home the result, we could have avoided their second goal but we are happy. Now we have to go there and play a great match. This result is also for the fans, who push us for 90 minutes. It’s for them and we have to defend it, I hope to reach another final.”
On Thiago’s goal: “We could have avoided that goal, we knew it could happen but it won’t happen again. We have to be smart back there, especially in Europe because it’s never easy. And we saw it, but in the end we won and we are happy.”
Goes on: “We have to continue like this, these matches are difficult and we have to start strong straight away. The match must be approached well, as we did tonight. We will do it on the way back too.”
He concludes on Thiago: “They are strong attackers but we managed it well until the goal. Then we continued in the right way, with a great race from everyone. Now let’s think about Verona which is important.”
