Coach Fabio Liverani was interviewed today on Corriere dello Sport to talk about the current moment of Fiorentina: “I see something similar with my Fiorentina (that of 2006/07 and the following season). We too were a group with many new players, all with the desire to leave their mark. And they play good. Florence knows how to rally around its team as a city and the Viola fans can represent an added value.”
On Kean, who is positively surprising, says Liverani: “I’m happy because he’s a player we were all waiting for. He went to the best place to start again. I knew that Florence would be the right city for him. On a technical level, he finally feels at the centre, perhaps for the first time ever. Owner and empowered, and that makes the difference.”
Does Cataldi look like a new Liverani? This is how the person concerned responds regarding the comparison: “He too found the team that enhances his characteristics. His story with Lazio had ended for various reasons, the conditions were no longer there and it was right to move on.” And a final line goes to the Champions League dreams: “To date I say yes. But the company is large and fierce, it will be a tough fight.”
