TMW
In his interview with TMWthe defender of Fiorentina Lucas Martinez Fourth he also spoke about some of his teammates and the impact they had in these first weeks for the Viola. These are the thoughts of the Fiorentina vice captain:
De Gea stole the show with Milan. What brought such a character to the group?
“We know what type of player De Gea is… For me a legend, he spent 12 years at Manchester United and won titles. For us it is very important to have someone like him in the team. We must make the most of him. If he then makes us win matches like Sunday are a lot of stuff…”.
From social media you already seem to be very good friends.
“Yes, also because of the language that allows us to talk a lot. We are very close, with him and the Argentines.”
Among these is Beltran. For some he is an attacking midfielder, for others he scores 15 goals. Which side are you on?
“For me he is a great footballer. I was with him at River and you could already see that he was a strong footballer and capable of doing well. It was a joy to find him here, finding continuity he will be able to do great things. I don’t know if from attacking midfielder or striker, for me he has the quality to play both roles. With his physique he suffers a bit from physical duels with defenders, but he can play both roles because he is intelligent at reading the plays and knows how to go deep.”
Gudmundsson and Colpani are the flagships of the summer transfer market. Impressions after the first few weeks?
“Everyone knows their quality… Gud can give us a lot because he is intelligent and good at finding spaces. He will give us a big hand. Flaco is a player that I liked a lot already at Monza. He knows what he can give. We just need to be patient, because he is a great player and he just needs the turning point, maybe with a goal. Let’s not forget that he comes from an injury.
