7.03pm, the press conference begins
Is Fiorentina more of a cup team than a championship team?
“The direct elimination matches are prepared differently. We are happy with what we have done, we have been in the semi-finals for two years and we came close to the Italian Cup final. Tomorrow we will try to take Fiorentina to another final, it will be a good one match, we are excited and we will try to give our best.”
Did they ask you for another goal in the locker room?
“I’m happy to help the team like this year, I hope to score many more between now and the end.”
Think about the comparisons with Passarella?
“I’ve never spoken to him, but it’s a source of pride just to have the chance to reach him. This is a personal push, but I just want to help the team. I hope that tomorrow we can have a great match, we want to start strong and it doesn’t matter whoever scores goals, the only thing that matters is winning and reaching another final.”
How would you rate your experience in Florence? Could winning a trophy also change his future?
“It would be wonderful to win a trophy here at Fiorentina, for what the club represents, for the fact that it has been so many years since it won something. It would be wonderful to be able to bring a trophy to the city and this group deserves it despite some too many criticisms. We have always demonstrated that we know how to react, the group deserves it, for those who are no longer here and for our fans who always push us, like those who arrived here in Belgium.”
How do you imagine tomorrow’s match?
“It will be a similar match to the first leg. They will wait for us, they will wait for our mistakes and they will try to restart. We will have to be good at managing, at defending the advantage created in the first leg without abandoning our way of playing. We are convinced of what we do, we’ve been playing like this for three years and the results have arrived.”
