The former Inter goalkeeper Alberto Fontana spoke to Radio FirenzeViola during “Florence on the field” to talk about tomorrow’s match: “Direct clash? If Inter plays it more as a direct clash, Fiorentina has nothing to lose and is deservedly at the top, in Milan they are aware of its strength” .
Judgment on De Gea after leaving United? “Between Onana and De Gea I wouldn’t have any doubts, given that I’m not a fan of the former, but at a certain point the moment of farewell arrives, as with De Gea and Manchester or as Buffon did with Juventus. It doesn’t surprise me that he’s doing well, he’s been at the top for years and after a year in which he pulled the plug he’s showing that he still has years ahead of him.”
Is it better for Martinelli to learn from De Gea or play in smaller clubs? “There is also Leonardelli from 2006, keep that in mind. I believe that a goalkeeper must create his own career on the pitch and I think he needs minors because he has great potential but he can only demonstrate it by playing and not by watching”
Is a loan better? “Terracciano is a certainty at the moment and I think Martinelli should go and gain experience elsewhere. For such an interesting boy I would consider a loan to gain security by playing in a category that won’t be his in the future.”
Is Fiorentina among the greats? “Every year, Fiorentina has taken a small step up the ladder, also focusing on young players like Kean. The president has invested in Viola Park, you have important young players and can therefore play alongside the historic big names, so to speak”
